re: whammo! - exploration wells finalised The WPL announcement had nothing on the drilling program beyond Chinguetti, but HDR's announcement detailed the finalised plan. They are drilling Tiof as planned and have made the decision to drill the 3rd well in the program which will be Poune - this was contingent on "further studies and data from the Ching appraisal/early development well" They must be happy with what they saw!! Then we have Pelican which is potentially large and in an unexplored block.

This should get it going and a positive flow test announcement (not likely until next week) will see HDR run.
