Sorry about the variety of font sizes - I wrote this first in Word, then copied it and this is how it pasted. There seems to be no way to alter the font size on this board.

Jimmy,

Sorry to disagree. The only pictures of the Shoal Point operation on the web site are the ones that scroll across on the home page. The photo-gallery ones are all of Garden Hill, (apart from the AGM of course.) The absence of captions doesn't help, but if you look on the PDI site, at the pics of their operations just over a year ago, the similarities are clear. I have done a lot of research into this and, though I can't say exactly what every picture shows, below is a brief description of the ones I am sure about:

Top centre. Group infront of green buildings surrounding drilling platform. Kirby Mercer in stetson.

Top right. Kirby Mercer on drilling platform. Blue engine in background. What appears to be a white tank over left shoulder.

Bottom left: clearing woodland – either for seismic line or for Garden Hill South site. There are no trees on Shoal Point.

Top Centre: Simmonds rig at night. Green buildings clearly visible.

Top left: Not sure who this is. Blue engine in background with white tank to left.

Bottom centre: Old storage tanks(left by Hunt/Encana?) with truck in front. Is that a circulation fluid tank to the left behind a screen.

Bottom Right: Concrete skids being laid for drilling of multiple wells. Two other pilot holes for PaP#2 and 3 were drilled on Garden Hill to a depth of 500 metres and were lined. The wells themselves were never drilled – two sidetracks from the original well were drilled instead.

Top Right: Kirby Mercer in front of the Simmonds Rig. The blue engine can be clearly seen, as can the green portacabins.

Bottom Left: Mesh being laid for the concrete skids. The old christmas tree can be seen, together with the setting for PaP #2 and #3. The tanks in the background have now been refurbished with white paint.

Bottom Centre and Right: This must be the salt and wax that caused problems with PaP#1. Apparently the well could be flowed for a bit and then clogged, whereupon it had to be flushed with warm water before it could be flowed again. This happened repeatedly during the productive period of PaP#1.

Page 4 Left: Clearly digging the foundations for the skids. The old christmas tree can be seen centre, and a bend of road in the background is I think climbing on to the ridge towards Garden Hill North. This same bend of road is clearly visible on the PDI photo gallery when they were preparing the site for the last re-entry in December/January 2006/7.
