Well said Brom. I have to say the old Malguk-1 drilling logs are compelling to say the least, the high proportions of sand/silt as opposed to ductile clays observed there and in nearby analogous wells should make Charlie conducive to stimulation. Charlie-1 is a close proximity step out and encountering oil is pretty much nailed on in the Torok. Any other horizons are a bonus for me as they are being intercepted in suboptimal locations. It all comes down to the reservoir quality. Microscale clay coatings (to be expected in turbidite sediments of Brookian sands) of framework grains inhibit quartz overgrowth during diagenesis (and ultimately preserves porosity as the quartz can’t grow into the micropores). I for one am looking forward to this drill. HRZ data a bonus - if the thermal maturity window produces volatiles (rather than bitumen)in this location as prognosed, coupled with Iran/USA tensions it could potentially push the oil price higher and be the perfect storm for a conventional + unconventional bonanza. Would lead to Premier farming out Area B, a horziontal well at Charlie-1, and the farm out of HRZ.
P.S Oil man Jim is a tit
