Ann: Total depth called for Alameda-1, page-89

Feral54,

The pressure infers how much oil exists below and downdip below the current casing point in the well. If you look at the seismic profile there is expected downdip potentially in the structure. With no oil water contact so far it also implies we are not at a point of determining the true potential. Once you hit oil/water contact you can draw a line of the extent of the discovery.

Another point I’ll make is at these pressures you will require special casings for the well. The design will be important and a better equipped rig will be needed.
