Quick Translation:

Water depth = 143m (site dependent)

Ocean Patriot Rotary Table (RT) = approx 26m after ballast down.

RT to sea bed = 169m.

- Drill 36" hole from 169 to 213m ? Riserless (No blow out protection)

- Run and cement 30? casing

- Drill 26" hole from 213 to 310m ? Riserless
- Run and cement 20? casing

- Drill 17.5" hole from 310 to 350m

- Run 13 3/8? casing (at this point they'll install the BOP & do the usual pressure testing b4 commencing drilling to TD.

- Drill 8.5" hole to TD of 826m. Next thing you know old Jeds a Billionare?

Unless they run in to issues this should be very quick. 30 days will only be needed if there is a well test following any discovery.

Also, anyone claiming there has not been enough ?community consultation? should have a look at the extensive list on the website (posted by YA) under the heading CONSULTATION.
