The 39 days for Jethro was very much in line with ECO's spud annoucement that the well should take up to 40 days. The 50 days, as far as I'm aware, surfaced on a Tullow presentation on the day of the major oil discovery (that's an unashamed ramp by the way). The Stena Forth did stay on location for a further 10 days or there abouts. There are so many imponderables in oil exploration, it's always best to wait and see. Some drills take longer, some less time to reach target depth.
With respect to Carapa, my current understanding is that the rig hasn't yet arrived on location.
I'm treating JOE as a bit of a freebie. On the back of Jethro it's costing ECO $3 million and I expect the Jethro recoverable resource figures to be adjusted to the upside in the near term. My estimate is for between 400-500 mmbo and the additional volume to ECO is about their share of JOE's current P50 of 150 mmbo ie 22.5 mmbo to ECO.
