RE: New Exxon Discovery - Hammerhead-130 Aug 2018 16:53
Your cut and paste map from official sources appears to show quite clearly that today's discovery is right on if not straddling ECO's block and one of its prospects. This news is massive news for ECO and should serve to significantly increase the COS across our prospects. Oil charge, migration pathway and reservoir rock look all but certain for at least the closets prospects, with trap the only main risk factor. Given the fabulous success ratio on Stabroek I'd say the odds of trap failure are low so the odds of a major discovery on Orinuik are now looking exceptional. I agree with you as regards read across for the CPR. I can see no reason why Total would not farm in and have added £20K today on the news. Geologically this is one of the best AIM exploration plays I've ever seen. God knows why the fool are swarming round the usual BS and not piling in here. Cove Energy 2.0 here we come. GLA
