rogues - like you, I also value the "Informative, thoughtful, and respectful discussion throughout this thread"
And I arrived at the same conclusion re ENI's investment - they may be a major, but they do not go chasing mirages - they are in this for the same reasons as NEN, they want results and have the intelligence and know how to go after winners. They have a good record and clearly have expectations of a good result in Vn, hence their continued drilling, testing etc - they are not mugs. They are proven winners.
