RE:RE:RE:Quantum of SolaceBankers (French) has done an excellent job with the asset in the last few years. Managed the water issues that plagued the site, has had a descent cleanup program and introduced the horizontal drilling know-how that others could not have offed at the time. Bankers may have been bushwacked by the Albanians but French was quick to recognize when Bankers' days were numbered and that there was no going back. Geo Jade needs him to continue on at Patos-Marinza, at least for a while, and perhaps to apply the technology to the Asian properties. Although the asset is excellent and I'm convinced there is a lot more oil there to be discovered, Bankers has become a generous extension of Canada's Albanian economic development initiative and the program has run its course. As for the Albanians, their introduction to free markets was a national Ponzi scheme, seizing an opportunity such as what may have happened with Bankers demonstrates that they are evolving into a more or less legitimate capitalist concern - you are a product of your environment.
