Drilling is up to 300m. Drilling 1 stand which is 3 bits of pipe in one day at those depths is not uncommon. I posted/guessed approx 30 days to drill this well based on my own experience of getting about 10m a day offshore under difficult conditions. This is hopefully not a difficult condition but it is in the sense of none of thes folk have worked in a team before and the equipment will need careful attention. The first target should be reached in a few days, but I would imagine that they will just keep drilling through that zone and carry on until they decide enough is enough or when things become obvious that it is time to quit. E.g there is clearly nothing showing on any drill cuttings or the well is becoming unstable or the pressure is getting difficult to control etc. They may stop short of the approximate target or drill ahead a bit further, we shall see. Then logging, then casing, then perforating, then testing, then producing by which time C 30 should be drilling. 2 months for c37 plus say another 6 weeks for c30. Somewhere around October for these two. If they get their finger out, start zen 1 by year end with say March as a target things will be hotting up by then. I'm not worried about Z1 just yet though., I would like to see 500 plus or minus for the two well deepenings with 1000 bbls plus being shipped by end of October. Wishful it maybe, but possible with a 35-50 m mcap if you don't mind. I hope they go for a slotted liner and gravel pack completion to try and keep out the sand, but who knows until they complete it. Ok, that's it, back to my dog house.
