more likely they're waiting for oil to be created under the seabed :-)

Well it over 20 days + no drilling,depends when parts come then how long to fix and test.

What else can happen next......

the crew will be seduced by mermaids

Where do you get this information from ?....no rns about drilling being suspended....

When u work down a mine RF you hear alsorts,u just have to trust me on this one,so far my info been bang on,days a head of iii or ADFVN.

Pro is saying drilling back on......not at all,this is going to cost someone big time,now will BOR have to pay some of the costs?

Why not send an email to Bor ask them who is paying for the 20+ days out of action?

....u just have to trust me..!!! LOL, now where have I heard that before?
I think marky is just trying to drive the sp down so he can get on board! ;o)

Insurers...perhaps...there should be a rns......as far as I'm concerned : no rns no problem....though perhaps the delay if there is one does not warrant information to be supplied to the market....

Perhaps it's time to rent a zodiac or sorts out from Port Stanley and go and have a look for ourselves !....

Go for it rf! You might need something a bit more substantial than an inflatable though. Of course, your deployment in a sizeable boat would enhance our naval capabilities and give the Argies something to think about!

Right...first I shall have to cross the atlantic top to bottom.....might stop off at tenerife on the way.....might need at least 200 horse power....and a few jerrycans of junglejuice.....boy !...what a trip.....and when I get there, I'll shout out in a posh english accent "I say up there can you tell me whether you've struck oil or not ?".....might even pretend to be out of fuel and they take me abord...yeahhh...great idea.....but on second thoughts it sounds like a plan devised by rik mayall or adrian edmonson in bottom.....or something from blackadder...

rf tgif good lunch?

?

Just been on iii,there are people shouting a sell as results due, they havent a clue. delete them.

i Said RF trust me... delete me if wrong.first week of April or second depending on delays...time will tell.

looks like that shorts looking good cynic,so is my info.

Well 61/17-1 (Darwin East) Operational Update



Borders & Southern provides an update on the drilling of its Darwin prospect.



Operations are currently on-going and the drilling of the well has gone according to design. However, progress was stalled due to some technical issues associated with rig equipment. These rig issues have now been addressed and the well is again progressing in accordance with the design.



As a result of the delays the Company anticipates another 4 to 5 weeks of activity on the well. A further announcement will be made once the well has reached total depth, the wireline logs have been run and their interpretation completed.

short is ticking along nicely but not sure when to call it a day

Time to buy more

only if they actually find oil! .... if not then it will be money down the drain - there ought to be a good pun available, but brain not sharp enough this morning

The original RNS said 45 days to drill; this one says 45 days to complete so what they are saying is they have drilled bugger all since February……..very expensive for someone or both parties.

Another 5 weeks??? ... I guess they probably found bugger all.

Think I'll open another buy position, I think confidence in the rig and the drill has held up pretty well, plenty to play for and I still see more upside than down at this point.
