A big thanks to all on this board for insights over last months (I'm another 2012er). To keep the conspiratorial fires glowing and to rise to vx1's challenge I was stunned by Galp phrase in the rns 'This was the first offshore well operated by Galp Energia,'. You have often said DYOR and I did not on this. I am very surprised to find Galp has no experience in this area. More oddly, why put the info in an rns about Trident? Also, the TPET part of the rns is clearly ambiguous about hcs at Trident but, if you read the Galp (very peculiarly worded) part it carefully avoids a clear position about hcs ( see Rivendell too). So, equally possible interpretation - well was fatally flawed around Trident - inexperience a contributary factor? ( also helps to explain weird drill timings) - one of our contributors set out such possibilities pre rns, and now the consortium has a failed drill but knows full well what is at Trident but obfuscating. Keeps the fires burning! Very best GLA
