"there's a fair bet that the news that is to be announced 48 hours later, will meantime leak out to the market thru unscrupulous individuals, who subsequently can probably never be detected as being guilty for doing so. "

Tracking down a leak wouldn't be that hard for a number of reasons:

- As Ive noted already only a small handful of people rig side have access to the wireline logging unit and even if you get inside the unit you'd have to 1) know what you're looking for on Engineer's screen
2) get a long enough look at the screen without attracting the attention of The Engineer, Winch man or IVZ Geologist.
- Once the MDT sample chambers hit surface they're either cracked to check contents or left sealed up or transferred to shipping bottles for sending off to a lab. The cracking of any bottles would be done by a SLB operator possibly with The IVZ Geologist lurking around. The work area would be well barriered off and it would be difficult for anyone unauthorized to get close enough to the equipment to be able to work out what was in the bottles.
- Town side...the oil and gas community around Perth is a small and close knit one. If someone was leaking out information it wouldn't be hard to track that person down and deal with them.
