Just finished talking to Dean Richardson at Hardman Resources.
He has been informed that the drill ship West Navigator has been released and is on route to Mauritania. The Stena Tay will follow about a week to 10 days later.
Dean had thought the West Navigator would be arriving earlier next week but now says it will be towards the latter part of the week. This has been beyond their control as Drillships are in high demand owing to the high price of oil.
Dean says that Woodside are holding another meeting early next week and an announcement will follow. (not today as previously anticipated).
I suggested that he post the HDR good oil conference slides and comment on the Northern Petroleum aquiusition in Guyane permit.
Dean is more positive now than when I last spoke to him on Wednesday
