My best guess is first week in August but they have been notoriously slow in the past. Remember tight gas is about unlocking the resource, its not just a case of tapping into reservoir. Depending on how complicated the structure is it could be even later. Tight gas structures are normally saturated with water and so isolating the water and building enough pressure is the key to a commercial well. That is if the gas is there. As for the buy back, i'm not sure on the rules but i would suspect they are similar to director buys and so would expect to see it pre results and given the kim howell has just bought in it could make sense. Then again these chunks of buys could be other board members buying in too?
