Doubt they will do a side track; not even sure if they have the option given the rig time used to date with early weather issues etc. The 3-D interpretation should be able to answer those queries and then a new appraisal well will be needed if potential size justifies this. Personally, I expect it will be marginal, and they will look at nearby structures first. The 3D interpretation is probably still some time off also.
The 3-D should have been interpreted prior to the appraisal and exploration program, but rig availability issues does not always make for perfect planning I guess.
