white sands drilling THere was an item about White Sands Petrolium on the Energy Review newsletter today. It said they were planning to release a prospectus in a few weeks and it included the Cooper driling for EBR in their upcoming contracts. Looks like we not only have to wait until they get their new rig working but will have to wait until the float gets up. They estimated by the end of November if I remember correctly. It will be rather hot in the Cooper region by then. I wouldn't like to be in the drilling crew even if the new rig does have airconditioning! Looks like Cooper drilling will have to wait until Dec with most of it dragging into 2006.
