Cheers Gary, plenty of little snippets:
The stimulation design for Icewine#2 has been completed, and the final application has been lodged with the State. The logging program in Icewine#2 was tailored to optimise the location of perforations for the stimulation design by identifying areas within the HRZ with:
� the same stress profile;
� the highest hydrocarbon saturation; and
� any pre-existing planes of weakness that may be exploited by artificial stimulation.
All three of the above goals were accomplished successfully and the Company is confident that the stimulation design has been optimised based on the best information currently at hand.
Additionally, insights have been gained into the stress profile and pore pressure of the HRZ, which appears higher than previously expected. This can have a direct effect on potentially higher flow rates. Consequently, the planned micro stimulation (DFIT) is no longer necessary and will be removed from the forward program.
