He looks confident and happy! And we must be in the target zone or we wouldn't be mud logging.
Is this a hint?
What was discouraging about Legalwolf's post,? The market wants a commercial discovery as he said, and we do too, all of us I hope! So come on, let's stop nit-picking and wait for the result, which I hope will be what we all want.
I think we will get the TD RNS and then probably have a 2 week wait. We have seen this is a leaky ship as per last Friday's rise so I am sure there will be those in the know who will be telling their chums and the sp will react accordingly.
'Once the wireline logs are run and evaluated, the Company will then run in hole to evaluate further with Baker Hughes' Reservoir Characterisation Instrument ("RCI") tool to take downhole samples under reservoir conditions. Onsite, there is also the facility to transfer and evaluate these samples, as well as the capability to send duplicate samples for laboratory analyses in a leading noble gas laboratory.'
So if we hear Baker Hughes are using the RCI, this measures reservoir behaviour during production, I guess we have succeeded. But how much will we be told?
I am no expert but they will be/are mudlogging as they drill and hopefully this will monitor 'plenty' of helium shows. Then the portable mass spectrometer will measure and validate these helium show. Once TD is reached the wireline logging will take place. Of course, there may be nothing but that is not what is expected, and so the samples will then be sent to a lab for analysis for 100% validation. That's my take on it and full results are likely during the first week of November. I could be wrong.
I am thinking we are likely to get proof of a discovery from the 30th October through the first week of November. I'm not sure we will be told of any helium shows until they are certain - either way. No point in getting people's hopes up although 'leaks' are always possible and we could get a few squeaky voices with those!
Yes, rog9, I had presumed those blue dots on the presentation map (page 7) of TAI-1 A were targets where the helium shows were found but I must be wrong as they are nearly at TD and haven't reached any targets yet. TAI-C seems shallower and appears to reach TD before a couple of the lower shows. Perhaps this is just poor mapping. I think they must be somewhere just above the top Karoo.
I think you may be mistaken skittish, we have been told work has been progressing at Itumbula-1 for some time now. It never stopped as far as I know, access had to be established first. The wording is, 'Civils work continuing on the Itumbula-C well pad…' That endorses the fact the work has been ongoing for some time and is still continuing.
Cocobeans, did you listen to the interview yet? If not, here's a link

It may not take 2 weeks and please don't start rumourmongering, parts break in anything mechanical/electrical, that's why there are spares.
Come on, is this a society where you shop your neighbour for a slip of the tongue or pen? I see old books are being altered as well. The past is the past, the present is becoming a Stasi society. And look what happens to anyone who steps out of line for any reason, it's as if they not considered members of the human race. We have all these niceties alongside a firing squad.
And yet we are subjected to streams of foul language if we switch on the TV after 9.00pm. And that's OK?
From the other thread:
The long dry season lasts throughout June, July, August, September and October is when rainfall is unusual, even on the islands. Temperatures vary hugely with altitude and location, but it's usually a fine, clear sky and sunny weather – it's a great time to visit Tanzania. During November and December there's another rainy season: the 'short rains'. These are much lighter than the main rains and less reliable.
If it has rained during the short rains, then it normally dries up for a few months, January and February, which is Tanzania's 'short dry season', before starting to rain again in earnest in March.
Good post Skippysb01. Too many here with fertile imaginations running wild and absolutely no knowledge of drilling. I am sure we will be kept up to date but any helium waiting to be discovered hasn't escaped, it's been there eons so a couple of weeks more will make no difference.
