RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:News BlackoutThank you for that Hanna,
Could you please site your reference for your assertion that Statoil pulled out of the play due to water issues. Granted, lack of sustained flow due to oil and perhaps water depending on the zone you are looking at remain the hurdle and one has to think that this was in the decision matrix for Statoil .. but pressure from their countrymen to become a green company, that the resource might only be 10 TCF and not 20TCF and therefore not big enough to meet their cutoff as a super major, etc., all would have been a part of the reasons for leaving the play.
The vast areal extent and immense thickness of the play and that it has tested gas in all wells makes it still a very interesting opportunity.
All IMHO.
All the best to longs,
Doc.
