re: dorade I think you are correct in that Dorade is a higher risk well but probably the lower end of high risk. HDR hopefully would have pushed for the initial well to be a good chance of sucess as they know the share price affect.

Will have to look at water depth and drill depths as this may be a "quick drill " to break the drilling seasons ice. I can agree with such a long season they have the ability to test the structure and use a contingent well at the end to prove the geology.

Haven't looked yet but the 2 rigs coming are where at the minute ??

Are they drilling or layed up getting provisioned??

Any chance of delay or early start??

The open today has shown a small bit of excitement and pushed HDR to a new level.
