Don't really like the word 'duster'. Not saying it isn't. When they are exploring a new field they drill down and identify zones. They normally perf and try and flow from this but it is never optimal. A lot of the exploration is finding what is where and identifying the best locations and zones to focus on next. In this case they may well decide the location is not optimal, or if they think it is they could drill a horizontal well in the best zone. Going back to the A1 well we know that the test was cut short due to finding liquid hydrocarbons. So if they prove that one they might find a location between. The problem is the field will be worth more if they know the extent of it. So rather than 1 well pad if they know what is North, East, South and West then it will be worth a lot more than just flowing from the centre. That said WNA could well pay a good dividend in itself so fingers crossed.
