RE:Namibia's offshore oil discoveries estimated at 11 bln Not to throw water on the fire, but it is important to know that the info leaked and leaked early is usually from non-specialists. IE the lowest paid folks tend to leak info.
so the driller leaks and says "yup we found oil"
that's all and great, if a geologist leaks "yeah 100 meters of pay"
then later you find out it's 100 meters of heavy in a shi@@y trap. Welp you have 11 billion barrels of garbage.
Upstream clearly has great connections to leakers of info. Good for them, they need to sell clicks. I am just warning you, you never know til you know
