I am fairly relaxed about the agreement. I get the impression that everyone is on board. If they wanted to give to another party it would take them a long time to get to this position as we Pred are unlikely to give away all our information and although well heads are there they would have a close read our RNS's regarding formation damage and my think too risky with further work. We will get agreement when we need it.
Ireland
However i am wondering about Ireland , this is not some backward country who say end of March and mean sometime in the future. This is a democratic and (generally) well run country so when end of March comes and goes there has to be a reason. I accept there are extenuating circumstances in change of leader but that has been and gone and we sttll have same Energy Minister. So if the answer was no "Nothing Doing" we remain as we are would they not have announced it and given us a NO by now middle of April.
Alternative is they have made a decision and if a simple yes it would have been announced in the press by now,
So alternative scenario is we have given the contract (for want of a better word) but depends on us making an agreement with Vermillion and also Vermillion come to an understanding with the Irish government. I think when that is all agreed then we will be informed and the government will announce a release to the press some how saving Ryan from looking a complete idiot. So i am shall we say hopeful and more hopeful as time goes on.
Mind you i could be completely wrong and out by an enormous factor. Who knows i do not.
To me the longer this goes with no news from Ireland the more i feel this is an option and a real one at that.
