AKAGOOFY----on the button Your post is on the button.Logistics is a nightmare in the Solimoes. Drilling operations do not go according to plans--with Murphy's Law operable with a higher than normal statistical regularity.Based on the company's experience with last 4 wells, it is obvious that we cannot drill 31 wells next year as this will involve quadrupling the number of workers from 1000 to 4000, helicopters from 4 to 16, base camps from 2 to perhaps 4, barges from 4 to 16, flexible pipelines x 4, tools, provisions for workers, spare parts, etc, etc and MOST IMPORTANTLY----a very scarce breed of people----SKILLED SUPERVISORS, MANAGERS AND ENGINEERS. many of whom may have to be recruited from other countries. Dr. Mello is excited and optimistic which is good but there are limits to what can be done in any given situation.
