Its not a 'Force Majuere' as pointed out by someone. We r not producing, simply exploring.
Routine rigrate for the J/U rig should b ~US170k/day as per the Ensco fleet status report & then there's other costs, consumables, long lead items (casing pipe, mud), sub contractors etc.
The Merc will b slightly expensive, as its a different beast (semi-sub), however I think the blk 120 well should b a real fast one (3 wks max for drilling) when it happens as its a relatively shallow well.
So while we wait, here's the co-ords for a flyover at the DF onshore plant. Notice 'CNOOC' on the rooftop.
Coords r : 19.063924, 108.642441
