espadon results...what's the "feel"??, page-18

re: hooter to hardmano My stab at the change in TD is that the shallow horizons came in high to prognosis. Therefore, the target should come in high as well. AS for having to re-spud, losing the hole prior up shallow is commonplace.

My guess is that gas with an oil leg will be encountered. I have a gut feel that Espadon will be a success because it has common ingredients with Chinguetti and Tiof: good sands, a good seal and above all a migration path created by the salt dome-related faulting.

Good luck to all!

Cheers,
