RE: Reflecting on todays RNS26 Aug 2022 10:52
The federal permit could come any time soon, next week even for the first well: 'The State 36-2 LNW-CC well, with a 10,000-foot lateral well targeting the Cane Creek reservoir, has been designated as the first of the three wells planned to be drilled.'
10k feet is 1.89 miles so there is huge potential for just this one drill. Two more to follow.
'We will be providing a full update on the proposed drilling programme once the final permits have been issued.'
It seems to me that any delay has only caused by this and perhaps the company did not factor this in when they stated the 8 - 12 weeks. I always $2m was a lot for a shed to house computers with a few pipes and valves as well.
But, I do wish the company would stop congratulating themselves or going on about the hard work they are doing as it is cringe-worthy advertising (and words such thrilled and over use of 'excited' should be banned from now on). And the other thing, they could try and simplify each RNS so they are clear, concise and to the point. For instance, why not tell us what they will do with the gas as this not some sort of guessing game:
"In the meantime, we are focused on recommencing production testing at the State 16-2 LN-CC, for which operational preparations are largely complete and long lead time items are in process. The test will allow for the sale of liquid volumes and, most critically, allow for data generation which will help as we evaluate the most effective options for infrastructure development."
