Sat 08.23 - garrym79: thank you for your very informative post(s). I remember Icewine drill design including facility to analyse optimum depths to initiate sidetracks. We now know that HRZ on approx 1/2 our HRZ acreage is probably in the bitumen (overcooked) phase (which might be recoverable using recently proved tech); however, the other half is uncertain (although the oip figures are available). So, we would need another exploration drill to look at the enormous HRZ and, one hopes, that our future drill designs in any other geological formation will always enable analysis of 'best sidetrack' probabilities. Of course, PB did feel that 'creaming the curve' at Icewine for optimum value to sell on, would require a certain number of drills (which he specified). Our current drill itinerary will probably benefit from designs which enable sidetrack location potential. VGLA
