Coolguy, there is no need to argue. There's a different between facts and speculation. Facts come from knowledge which comes. What you read in the news can allow you speculate, but only those who are directly involved have the real knowledge. I come here to share knowledge and not speculations. First of all let me correct some errors you have made;
1. Sendforth was done for over 40 guys leaving for foreign service across the group. Be sure you won't see such in the newspapers. Their roles would have to be filled soon. Are you aware that over 20 people resumed in the company three months ago (some from 2011 & 2012 and the others from the 2012 community recruitment).
2. Since I can't show you official documents please look through this link to verify your claims on Pacefic Scirocco http://www.pacificdrilling.com/Opera...o/default.aspx. It's on till 2017 and your information on 2015 is not current.
3. It may interest you to know that in reality appraisal wells and in some cases development wells are used re-completed for production. The terms refers to what stage the wells were drilled and doesn't limit the well's eventual use. It would also interest you to know that rigs are not necessarily used to lay subsea trees, UFR's and other subsea production installations. Special vessels designed for that purpose would be contracted when required.
3. Drilling team for Egina has been in existence for some years now and HR manager doesn't manage the drilling team as stated by u. FPSO manager has nothing to do with drilling of wells. His appointment came up now because the construction of the FPSO just started. I understand your confusion about these issues and can promise you a full understanding of the way it works within weeks of resumption.
Wish you and the others the best. Give me a call if you deem it necessary. I would inbox you on issues you are getting mixed up from the Internet. It's not so complex to understand.
Cheers!
