Couldn't say, as I'm no industry expert, but it's a one shot chance of a lifetime for IOMG. They have to be bold and take it.
Safety will not be compromised, and as wells go, its not in deep water and it's a conventional gas reservior. I.e. well established methods of drilling to be used. They have 2D seismic, obtaining 3D will not prove if gas will flow, but they've committed to do this after the well has been drilled and is successful, I believe.
