Tinmann,it is good to hear from you again.I always value your expertise on these companies.I have question for you on the North Piper drill.In Blackmont Capital lastest report on (BUK).They state that time is of the essence because Bridge has a window of opportunity to secure a semi-submerible rig from Chevron,assuming the company can commit to a rig by June15,2008.A payment of approximately $7.2 million is required by the end of the month to honour the commitment.If they can secure the rig they could be drilling by next month.If somehow they cannot secure it in this time frame.The North Piper would not be able to be drill until winter.Do you think there is any possibility, that they will not be able to secure the rig in this short time frame for a summer program.

I don't think it'll be a problem... they do have a $20 million line of credit with Blackmont if they need to draw on it.Bridge is as keen to drill North Piper as anyone else.I suppose the downside case would be that you pay 2x cash flow and have to wait a few extra months for Piper to be drilled.
