Any reasons why Octanex trumped NZOG in gaining this permit? Looks pretty good on paper.

Mr Tommy,hi i will be able to tell you exactally when the rig will be able to be moved.
18 months ago i set up on my new home and it is all self generated power.We have a small Airdolphin wind turbine and solar power.For now forget the solar and look at the wind. In this 18 month period the best producing period has been the last 4 weeks. Power produced from wind varies directly with the cubed of the speed of wind,so double the wind you get 8 times the force from it,triple gets 27 times. So if the wind is blowing up on my hill top it sure as hell blowing out on the ocean with nothing to break it.A further complication is that in two seconds of the wind stopping the land effect carried no energy force into the future but the waves on the ocean sure do.
So in conclusion i would say we need three days with no wind and at that point we also need a good forward outlook. At least we can take heart from the fact that the now 100 icebergs are not on colision coar-se with Taranaki. The Barque prospect might get visited and if so will add a big concern in this area,when next years decision to drill comes up.
Cheers
Despite yet another week of westerlies ahead courtesy of El Nino...

At least things are on the move, at last. :)
20 days to drill the hole to 2200m but the targets are between 1400m - 1800m, so results could come sooner.
The forecast is actually quite mild for the next week. Winds should be light to moderate in the area.
