RE: RE: RE: Looking very good for Simba :( this play is purely speculative at this time. This is not a producer. You play the speculative rise in price when the drilling is announced. You know that; we all know it.
I've seen enough seismic in my time. I work in the oil and gas industry. I know what it costs to plan/acquire 3D program. It can run anywhere from approximately $150,000 for a tiny 3D, $500,000 for a moderate sized 3D, more than a $1 million for a large 3D. Planning and shooting a 3D can easily take a couple of months. A good seismic processing company should be able to process the field data in about 2 weeks time for a good migrated 3d volume. It will take 2-3 weeks for a good intrepreter to look at that 3D volume to decide best drill locations. It will be at close to 3 months from TODAY to get the drill in the ground.
Of course a 2D program is quicker; can be processed on a line by line basis as they are completed. Cheaper too. I personally think a 2D program is better. Quicker to get the drill into the ground. If they hit some good economic wells; then shoot a 3D over the area to define the size of pools and any other missed targets that are between and outside the 2D lines.
