Here is an excellent post from Linz22 in case anyone doesn’t read “over there on that other place”
I was kicking myself first thing this morning upon reading the RNS for not buying the a dip on Friday evening. But the market's misinterpreted the data and I can't believe my luck that the godsend of second opportunities presented itself to top up at 117p, having had t osell out something else at a small loss to do so. Make no mistake, this morning's news is hugely positive. For those who've erred(and sold!), by fretting over the produced water, it's necessary to understand that they're drilling in a complex thrust zone - meaning that area is heavily faulted where broad 'sheets' of strata are pushed by compressional forces to lie over the top of similar strata to which they were originally juxtapoosed, or even lying beneath. Such an conditions typically give rise to severely geological abnormalities, such as unexpected overpressured zones, which can be treacherous to drill through - hence the afforementioned 'heavy mud previously used. And also, as in this case, to misplaced geologic and fluid cycles, with water lying atop of oil. But that phenomenon is only apparent as the water exists at the base of the reservoir strata of the thrusted sheet, underlying the oil in that section, but which in turn now finds itself overlying the oil in the reservoir section of the strata below it and the fault plane. It's not, stricly speaking, even a case of the water being 'perched', or stranded in that position (a phenomenon that's attracted a much maligned discussion over on another, similar, oilie forum) as it's not out of its natural position per se, it's just displaced by faulting to overlie a second oil trap below. The 90% so-called water cut, refenced in today's RNS, is the result of a very simple miscalculation in the placement of peforating, which has accessed the water below the OWC of reservoir section in the upper thrusted sheet. A 'schoolboy error', perhaps? But, at least they now know where that OWC is and, moreover, it's a minor issue that's very easily remedied. It's worth taling stock that this is an investment forum, not some social media page for inane gossip, so everybody's shared purpose for being here should be solely to help each other realise a profit on their investment. The message forwarded by Bernieman is correct and my advice here, then, is to BUY (and if it goes down more, fill your boots). Now I'm only kicking myself for not getting in at 114p -hopefully the bottom.. By the way, I believe Pro's hypothesis to be right, re up dip from Chinook. That would be huger still, and I'm putting my money where my mouth is
