blackso,

Dear *****,

Our consultant advises that a rig may be available then, but I have requested firm confirmation, not yet received.

rest assured that when firm confirmation received an asx release will be made.

It is logical that as time goes on the chances of securing the work over rig should increase.

The queue of work in front of the eagle north work over must surely be getting shorter.

vicpet and partners share the same frustration all our respective shareholders have on this project.

thank you for your support and interest in vicpet's exploration and production activities.

regards,
john kopcheff

Hi John,

Just heard that we were now looking at mid September for the rig (earliest).

Is this correct?
