Heavy Oil Success = PEMEX, ALASKA
I actually forgot to post this last night. Geez... I fell asleep. This will add to buzzzzzz!!!
What's the common denominator for Chicontepec (Pemex), Alaska and WEE initial success with (none other than shell)?
Answer: strangely unique shaped-
Heavy Oil reservoir
What if I told you that Powerwaves works fine with oddily shaped reservoir and heavy crude (which is more difficult to push out because viscosity is higher).
What if I told you that it is a fact!
Wouldn't you agree that PEMEX and ALASKAN venture looks even less risky & that success is high?
In a nutshell, PEMEX and Alaskan venture has a very very very hig chance of success. I'd say a slam dunk.
Why?
Because of ... Shell initial experiment !
They say, you need 3 to make a trend.
Well... Wavefront has 3 published success similar to Chicontepec and Alaska.
Slam dunk.
Hype, buzz will start and the this train is leaving the station...
