I was basing my drilling estimate for timing mainly on Kiwi-1, however I now see that Kiwi-1 did not run any casing below the 1500m mark. So allowing 5-6 days for setting casing etc at about 3400m, say Friday - Tuesday/Wednesday, that makes drilling ahead into D Sand as possibly Wednesday and then maybe F Sand the following day. There is some mixed weather out in the basin presently so perhaps a little additional downtime could be adding to all this. Note at these depths, the average rate of drilling ahead is about 35m/hr.
