CONFIDENCE IN THE BASIN
HAS INPEX MADE A HIT ?
The level of confidence shown by Kosmos and Murphy on the Suriname side of the Border without even 2D and 3D seismic and their commitment to spend $150m has shown a high level of confidence on that side of the Border despite the 3 successive dry holes by Repsol and Murphy respectively.
If Inpex was also a dry hole , they may not have been so eager to sign up so quickly and agree to spend such large sums of money.
