Please obey the NOP drink thread etiquette. We don't want it clogged up with cut and pastes of long pointless RNSs.

very late reporting.

[maxk] 25/8/2011 16:01

£500k to £1m a day for a rig is small bics to Muzzer



oops!

[soulsauce] 25/8/2011 13:29

Lol bionic yes that was a pretty poor statement.

More to the point if Tullow find something they are going to want to spend some of their billions on rapidly proving the area up which is going to be a tough cash call for both WSX & NOP even with just 1.5%.

The cost overruns on the current drill must already be making Muzzer choke on his Hob-Nobs.

What's the going daily rate for a deepwater rig? Been drilling since 10th March or 138days with results not expected until Sept so lets say total 150days.
