I thought this comment would have been the one that stirred the pot by calling into question that the Samo well was a step to far but apparently no...

"Ben Sayers, the Director of Business Development for Africa, Mediterranean and Middle East of TGSLate last year, Samo-1 well was drilled in block A2 by Far and Petronas. Why do you feel this didn't repeat the success of SNE-1?From the seismic data that TGS has access to, it never looked like it was going to repeat the success of the SNE discovery. SNE works largely due to the reservoir sands that ponded on the paleoshelf edge with an unconforming shale layer that seals the reservoir. This is coupled with the charging mechanism allowing the Aptian source rocks to charge via migration through the incised canyons and the dip of the rotated Jurassic block carrying the buoyant oil basin-wards. The same situation was not quite replicated at the Samo-1 location, but TGS has identified multiple other scenarios that we believe when tested would be fruitful"

Always hardest to make the big calls when your money or business rides on that call.

i've specifically replied to you @Hotazel because Hotcopper just like any community benefits from free exchange of opinion, advice, whatever with others. Otherwise peeps will bask in self delusion when chatting to their mirror or within their exclusive inclusive bubble.

Anyway, here's the thing...when you said...

"CN.. the netball fields need your assistance.What a farcicle joke." You lost my respect with a stupid comment and no i don't care whether that rates or not with you

You are the one that needs a 20th + century reality check and it detracts from the rest of your
dialogue... That's simply misogynist sexist crap.

Totally ignoring CN who i have never met, it is amazing that that your view could still exist in 2019.

Maybe it's my Kiwi upbringing. I'm proud that we were first in the world to "give" women the right to vote and Australia not long to follow

Soooo I'm thinking you should edit your post. Everyone has a brain explosion or says something that sounds good at the time but proves otherwise.. That's ok. Let's try and raise the discourse
