Ann: 11.02.03 Surprise-1 Core Results , page-37

I never expected to see permeabilities anywhere near that high in this core, particularly since it's not even the basal sandstone (which typically will be the coarsest in most formations, with some exceptions).

I trust Weatherford labs, they have always given me great service so I trust the results of these poro-perm tests. The JW results were purely from wireline log interpretation which are much more uncertain.

As expected, most perm results were less than 10mD, but there were obviously a few bands that were coarser and/or cleaner - 1.7m of good perm in this core alone with the possibility for more.

I understand the widespread skepticism and of course this doesn't change any concerns that one might have about the management but from a purely geological standpoint it's very good news IMO.
