I feel like offering something different. I, like the rest of you are thoroughly pissed off with the recent dusters but it has occured to me that things perhaps, are not quite as bad as they seem.
Firstly, TE-5 TE-6 TE-7 all hits. Then we have Badile. This was in a completely different region, and was in the works long before Brian joined the team.
TE-8. This was a yolo well. Quite honestly, they were just high on their success, had drilled three successful Moroccan wells and thought "fuck it" let's just whack a well 12km step out well in the middle of the license and hope for the best. If we get it right, we're all rich. No seismic what's so ever.
TE-9. This is actually the first duster out of the previous 3 that is actually of materiel concern. They interpreted the seismic incorrectly. The fact that it failed on the back of two other dusters has ruined sentiment.
But what if I were to say, ignore Badile (wrong country, decided on years ago) Ignore TE-8 (Total yolo well from some people who had wallets bigger than perhaps, their brains.)
So that leaves TE-9, the only true failure in relation to the likelihood of success in Morocco, if you ask me.
Let's see what they learnt, if anything, and what the next two TE-10 and TE-11 can bring.
