Drilling has to happen. There is lot of oil with 4-way closures etc in block 2A which is very unlikely Essel will walk away without drilling M1 and M3 targets, hence 2 holes in the works.
M1 is very close to the seep in Wajir. Previous holes drilled were far off the main target. 3D seismic has been created by using FTG/Passive and the new 2D.
I give it Dec31st,2019 or sooner.
my update
i spoke to Dinning on Friday he said Essel was tying up loose ends.He said they wanted to get all thier ducks in row before press release. He shares our frustration but he said they are planning and saying the press release is coming. He says essel is very positive in their conversations. 2019 is our make or break year.
