I lost a bundle, percent-wise on HRT Participacoes a year or so ago. Everyone was convinced that the pre-salt features off Angola matched the profile of the Brazilian finds. I guess that drilling by analogy can be dangerous.

Of course, Petrobras is having problems getting oil out profitably from its pre-salt finds but, as I understand,
these wells are veritable gushers. Not so with Angola, at least to date.
