Yes, they did front up with the interview and they appear a little exasperated at the market and shareholders reactions, understandably, in my opinion. They are disappointed with their own results in the last few days/weeks and are formulating a plan moving forward and the SMD test now makes sense on a reduced-cost basis.
We would all have liked a different result but this shows that if you are here, or in any other exploration company for a quick 'get rich quick fix', you are more than likely in the wrong place. IMHO the negative reaction is more to do with the get rich quick mentality than simply being disappointed that the result didn't quite meet expectations. It is still 500 barrels per day of Alaska crude (note they say this is inclusive of the full spectrum of constituents - they don't differentiate as many of the uneducated here wish to do).
It's all about location geology and getting a full understanding of this to enable a refinement of the methodology(ies) for efficient extraction.
Two final points - firstly, there are plans afoot for the next stages in Alkaid 1 and/or 2 and, secondly, a reaffirmation that this well represents only 4% of the resource in PANRs acreage.
