I am getting more confused, with Otto pulling out and transferring 35 percent to rmp. I am assuming the other parties who bought in have also been given an increase share of the project. So who is now the operator to conduct the geophysical studies? Or is this yet again just a statement to fill out an rns and nothing is actually happening?
In June this year, the DoE formally granted a two-year moratorium, until 23 December 2017, on required work activity under Service Contract 55. During the moratorium period, the JV will conduct specialised geophysical studies in the area surrounding the Hawkeye Prospect, which encountered gas shows when it was drilled last year. Although the Hawkeye well did not encounter gas in commercial quantities, it proved the presence of an active petroleum system in the contract area that hosts the "Cinco Prospect" as well as several other leads.
