I emailed Sean with some of the questions that I had. Here is part of his response: If some zones in the BCGA play are found to produce more water than other, then we need to find these out so we can plan how to manage or avoid them in future. The highest NPV is achieved by producing the lowest water zones first, but this does not mean the zones that do flow water will not be produced after the better zones. Some shareholders called and asked me how we will assure that we dont produced any water in Inanli. Key answer is we wont assure that, if some water is flowing, we want to see it and understand it to help us plan going forward. We are in the mode of acquiring data, not drilling production wells. Yamalik more than fulfilled all of its objectives and was a fantastic well, but it was never designed to produce and it is complicated by the very large vertical section of over-pressured gas. I should emphasise that again, our evaluation is challenging because we have discovered one of the longest, continuous sections of overpressured gas in the world.
