delayJagdeo's frustration validates my belief that drilling will be further delayed.We will probably hear that shortly.
With regards to gas/oil,I believe they are using Rock Solid Images to determine the pore content of especially the deeper structures,whether gas or oil.If Rock Solids feels Eagle Deep is gas,and Eagle is oil they may not drill the deeper structures.
That is what Rock Solid does,it tries to determine what lies in the pore space and reduce risk of drilling a gas reservoir,or deep underground fresh water lake.They have had good success offshore West africa and Ghana,but they also are not perfect ,as the water logged well off the Ivory caost drilled by Anadarko recently proves.
