If we look at the minimum commitment in the first four years, they have to have carried out an upper section site survey and shoot some 2d seismic or a minimum of 60km 3d seismic and interpret. The recent geological announcement, appears to be covering this minimum requirement - at least that is how I read it.
Next..
They must drill a well from the surface 5000m down or 50 metres below the top of the upper cretaceous, which ever comes first and evaluate - in the rns today, Andrea specifically mentions drilling the upper cretaceous when the BD260 arrives.
They also need to be at 465 stb/d for 90 days by October 2019 - they are going after the lower hanging fruit in their opinion to get to this minimum production threshold, to avoid being in material breach of the redspa.
Nothing has happened whatsoever on the workover and drilling front since mike palmer left effective 1 july 2018, so we have had nearly four months of nothing much happening.
I cannot find any details on Mr Tica as yet, however, it is clear that Andrea decided to leave things alone and not have a go himself, like last time.
Seems like they are focusing on the minimum contractual requirements and that a lot has been completed.
Anyone think differently
