RE:RE:RE:Pelican BriefDeep Santonian baby! Not even Repsol on Jaguar, nor Exxon et al could penetrate that. Exxon is planning to. They may want to hire Stockinger and Lacey to help them get there.
But how can there be stacked sections of the same formation deposited in the same time period or geological age? Listric fault in a channel aka canyon? Ms. Budlong and Mr. Zoback know. God, from a humble mud man's point of view, I am really impressed that someone finally got to the deep Santonian. The upper one takes only about 60 days to get to. The lower one takes cojones, talent and lots of money to get to. De Alba is a smart man. He hired the best of the best.
