RE:RE:Suresh Kawa and Wei are a combined $120MM usd over budget from pre-drill costs. Either they sandbagged their pre-drill estimates or they failed to do their jobs properly. I have absolutely no problem with Kawa (on record saying this... offshore is a beast). But it's clear they didn't learn a hell of a lot for Wei and still ended up being another $60MM over budget on this well. But sure, let's blame Suresh for this as well. If anything, he may have been too guillable and took the CGX drilling and procurement team at face value when given pre-drill estimates and then doing negotiations with frontera for how to fund Wei.
As for high school kids... haha... I said that specifically for CGX PR team, not drilling. Hell, get chat GPT to write the final well release upcoming. Can't be much worst than the junk released over the past couple years.
