I just got an email from Jim Voisin, confirming my impression that these parties are all co-operating in a friendly manner.

"...I am therefore looking to either tag onto the end of an existing program or drill prior to a major program that has the Mobe and DeMobe costs associated with crews and equipment are already paid for. I'm awaiting an opportunity to save some costs, or share some costs. Most of the Ring of Fire explorers will work together and help each other out where and when we can. "

So, I guess it's not like your world. And you'd have known that it you'd have contacted him, as I suggested you do.
