are we expecting news this arvo?, page-8

Well done Sparrow!

That kind of report will mirror what I believe NEO will report once the JH1-1 deeps are tested.
5~6 zones x 200 odd bpd is great flow in that area... plus around 1000 mcf gas ....will obviously take time though.

Notably Citrus1 drilling did not encounter shallow gas (ala JH1-1 , 2-13 etc).

This is the probably why the NEO JV were not expecting it and it came as a huge (and pleasant) surprise on 23rd Sept 04 in JH1-1 (and now block 13 also)

Citrus is producing from 7000ft (vertical) in the 'antelope shales' vs NEO's shallow sands are circa 2000~5000ft!

The Antelope shales are at the top of the so-called 'JH Deeps' and form part of the Montery formation , below them are the Stevens Sands.

The Citrus field commercialisation is yet another endorsement of my own thinking on NEO/OPL. VERY SIGNIFICANT IMO !

I'll bet Nahabidean are spitting tacks having opted out of their JH Deep rights !!

ds, not sure about an ann. today , would very much hope so though ... must have been gas shows over the w/end.
