In relation to your Q2 on why no AH drill program for 2007, it might be useful to ponder two pieces of information in Andrew 1 's post (1233768) on the use of Peak Group's contract oil drilling services .These were:

- Dana is using Peak Group to drill two deep water wells off Mauritania using Atwood Hunter

- Hardman have contracted Peak Group to drill a deep water well off French Guyana on an unnamed rig at an unnamed time

Perhaps Simon has persuaded his JV partners to let him take the AH for a sail across the Atlantic with Mr Peak as skipper. The notion ties in nicely with SP's negotiations on a Guyane JV and the apparent gap in AH's schedule
