devon's wells near defender, page-12

Defender, i agree, it dont look flash from the information available. The noble pic was just to show that with knowledge comes extraction efficiency. Now wether that efficiency can make the play commercial is another story but at least it was not a dry hole. The only thing worse than a dry hole is 'what happened there' well which was SOA 1. HAL fracc on Defender was supervised by HAL but contracted out, so they would have paid close to going rates, imo. I just cannot get my head around this 18 month contract. Wish I could read the fine print.
