RE:RE:Realistic? Unrealistic? Do numbers lie?Actually in a "tight shale" play or "unconventional" recoveries of 5% of OOIP would be expected.
I think this is what they are expecting, an unconventional resource play. A conventional type target depending on the perm and porosity could have a recovery factor of 15 to 25% of OOIP. Obviously it would be great to find a conventional reservoir or two. Conventional type field would be much faster and quicker to get produciing. If they end up with an unconventional resource the costs to develop are much higher and it would take a lot longer. Just my opinions.
