Hi thebold.
Chariot have identified the deeper sand horizon on its reprocessed seismic only some of which has been received to date. They have identified the deeper zone below the main target of both of the forthcoming wells.
I expect they will want to drill both wells first, validate the gas in the deeper horizon, and then correlate the wells results to the seismic and then re map, using both Avo and spectral decomposition in the 3D seismic data to map the lateral continuity of the deeper gas reservoir. The fact that SDX drilled this deeper reservoir is very encouraging. The mapping of the shallower Avo reservoir indicates the presence of faults which appear to control the reservoir deposition fairway and I expect such fault control to prevail at the deeper reservoir also.
Chariot have identified this deeper reservoir in both its priority prospects . We know the shallower prospects have a reservoir thickness of 10.5 meters based on SDX published data, and that chariot have mapped these prospects in total at 79 bcf. So if the deeper reservoir is50% of what’s been found in lnb1 and the fault controlled area is the same as the shallower reservoir then back of the envelope pro rata that 1tcf.
For reference, anchois 1 had 50 meters of gas reservoir and anchois 2 updip had 150 meters of gas reservoir.
The drilling onshore is pursuing a similar concept and strategy, but at 10% of the drilling costs.
