Coopernic,

Using 13,000ft long of 6in diameter, I come up with around 1,800bbl of volume inside this casing/tubing. If they really imply 50,000bbl of drilling fluid in the hole then 48,000bbl must be in the fracture if it does happen. I found it is a strange number to believe. I am not against my investment here but AKK should clarify this number. I agree that they are not implying that there is 50,000bbl in the hole at all. It just could be that there is 50,000bbl of drilling fluid on the surface during drilling. Coopernic, you can tell me if they usually have such amount ready all the time on the surface?
