All in good time! We have 107 days left of the drilling season (End of Nov).
Sinopec Rig
- SL 33 days left
- Mobilise to WH (300km) - 1 week max (based on timescales to move 1100km for SL)
- Rigged up - 2 weeks max (based on timescales to rig-up for SL)
- Spud Wild Horse 25 days (2017 Sinopec quoted 20 days however since appointed of MB decision to drill a little further TD 2000m)
Total number of days 79 days
Total number of float in drilling season 28 days
Petro China Rig
- Site Prep at Gazelle, well site construction and on site water well drilled for operations (2 weeks)
- Mobilise rig from Block XIX to Block XX (Gazelle) 30km from memory (2 days Max).
- Previous DT drills in 2010/2011 took 14-19 days to spud, cement, case, mobilise to the next location and rig up (average of 1800m). Gazelle is 2200m TD therefore I expect this to reach TD in 3 weeks (21 days).
- 4th drill to be confirmed. Presentation (25th June) includes the 4th drill TD of 2000m (average TD in Block XX) therefore I'd expect this to be of similar timescales 3 weeks (21 days).
Total Number of days 58 days
Total Number of float in drilling season = 49 days
Total Number of float Q4 to end of drilling season = 61 days - 42 days drilling = 19 days
In between, parallel activites will take place inc
- Site Prep at Wild Horse (due to commence August I expect this will commence next week).
- Block XX rig contract (I expect this has been awarded and we will hear confirmation imminently, more than likely wrapped up with the confirmation of WH site prep commencement).
- Site Prep at 4th drill (TBC).
All complete guestimates on my part and all IMO however just wanted to provide some comfort to PIs that there is still time.
