RE: Concerning the spud date It is my understanding that Repsol took possesion of the the rig on December 5th from it's previous location.
There would have been some transportation and set-up time to delay spudding of Jaguar, but I have always thought that from December 5th to Feb 9th was an inordinate amount of time given the close proximity of the two wells. With this in mind, I have always thought that drilling of Jaguar could have started ealier that what they are saying!
This may explain why they have stated that they are ahead of schedule and the reason why they scheduled the Presidents site visit together with the updated resource amount due to hitting shallow oil returns.
The bottom line is that we should hopefully hea some possitive results very soon and the Attwood Beacon should be on it's way.
Remember that there have been many more positive indicators during the drilling schedule than negative and IMO this play will not be a duster!
Good luck to all longs! We have waited far too long, but the rewards will be spectacular!
