Both of these wells have been operating under the extended well test program. Anxious developers continued to seek a speedy solution to the crisis as publicity about the situation made headlines in the Australian media. Mr Gabut said yesterday that Mr Kila had assured him that he would ask his people to vacate the Moran 4 well pad and travel to Moro for the meeting with the government officials, expected to last two to three days. Oil Search managing director Peter Botten, whose company has a major interest in the Moran oil field yesterday reiterated his call for a speedy resolution of the matter. Nothing has changed, Mr Botten said yesterday.

What we need now is responsible leaders from both the Government and the landowners to get up and act responsibly and get the right message across because the eyes of the investment community are on us.
