"Just look back at RNS for 2014 to give you a cost for well 6, our producer. "
rates from 8 years ago are only a weak guide- but I 'd be more worried about rig and crew availability than cost. Plus of course they need a bunch of permissions. IIRC people normally start prep about 6 months before spud offshore so, as you say, if they haven't been working on the side nothing will happen this year. I still think they need to buy some production - yes, it will cost them but we can't risk suddenly having NO production
