guttedsquid: You state "....I can't recall either of the companies in the JV mentioning the importance of success at Snatcher and its overall picture in the oil fairway."
I see this differently: VPE's release on 29.5. clearly states (big letters just by me to highlight!):
"Vicpet is confident that the Western Margin Oil Trend within PEL 111 and the adjoining permit PEL 104 will prove up with continuing drilling to be a major new oil province. The drilling of SNATCHER-1 WILL PROVIDE A TEST OF AN EXPLORATION CONCEPT SUPPORTING THIS PREMISE."
To me, this clearly does stress the importance that they attach to Snatcher.
