Condensate is technically Oil? Really? Well in all the time that AEX were off taking Condensate from Kiliwani never once was it referred to as OIL.... and at no time has anyone here previously conflated the use of the word condensate with oil. And actually not quite - it sits below Oil
"Condensate is a generic term widely used to describe the liquid phase generated from gas/vapor condensation. Normally the condensate coexists with the gaseous phase and produces a two-phase mixture. Again, condensate can form by condensation of a mixture of a variety of very low-density, very low-viscosity, liquid hydrocarbons along with natural gas. Depending on the product from which they are generated condensate is sometimes termed natural gas condensate, steam condensate, condensate water, etc."
Note that it is not termed "Oil".
Anyway it is semantics - at no pint has anyone here ever doubted the existence or likely availability of "condensate" in any of the currently planned wells - indeed many have predicted it any pointed it out; including me.
