Well the announcement says, "By the end of the week Rig-1 will commence to drill out the junk in the hole at approximately 2,195 metres. After removal of the junk from the hole, the oil bearing sandstone reservoirs located between 2,175-2,233 metres will be perforated and flow tested."
So I REALLY HOPE that it doesn't take until after Xmas! Surely it won't take 3 weeks to drill 2,000m??
