They’ve had some time to do whatever they needed to do to finish Casc 2 now, so a spud of Casc 3 could in theory come on Monday. Walking the rig back to Casc 3 position will literally be done in like an hour.
The clearing for B pad and the flowline from Casc C to Casc A facility is completed, or will be completed early next week. Pad B looks cleared, so if there isn’t heavy equipment on site already flattening the B Pad getting it ready for concrete, there will be soon. The flowline routs is 1500 ft, which is half of Coho. Paul told me the actual welding for Coho was completed in 75 days, so figure half that or less. More welders on-site can make things go very fast. Just like the clearing here went faster than Coho.
So Casc 3 in March, Casc 4 or Casc B in April depending on Rio and license sing-offs. If not signed off then just move to B for April drill. Flowline from B to A could be hooked up and commingled with A production in May. The distance here between B and A is about 200m, so a weeks welding if done at the same speed as Coho welding. Totally doable. Casc C online sometime in Q2.
