Further to my last post: My working assumption and theory is that there is a huge listric fault covering a large area that is the migration pathway for all of the oil feeding the reservoirs (Maastritician, Campanian, Santonian). If valid, then both oyl and fec are way undervalued. I think that's why they drilled into the Coniacin. They wanted to get the fossils to build their geological models.
The bashers are completely crazy. One of them said that there would be oil stains on the drill string if they drilled through oil bearing rock. What a pile of garbage! It would get emulsified in the mud before it could coat anything. The geologists would see it in the cuttings samples though, when they put the samples under UV light to see if there's florescence. If yes, then there's oil in the pores. Lwd would pick it up also. They already reported that both lwd and cuttings samples had hydrocarbon shows in numerous formations.
Yet I love the bashers comments. It gives others an opportunity to refute them with facts. We need Plainview Oil here as well as Dfly. I say let the bashers bash and let others comment in order to build a proper model of what we have there.
