Well let me tell you TShirt it is my absolute desire to be a filthy capitalist from NEN so that I too can have a place where I can do a similar thing to you. My place will either be in France or FNQ Far North Queensland. Ideally it will be both subject to the outcome with NEN, I envy your lifestyle however, no doubt it was years in the making with a lot of hard work behind it.
I have been looking at the NEN annoncements and given the years when oil was first extracted/discovered, is NEN's latest drilling the deepest that this area has had? For my logic, with such a prolific oil prodicing area it makes sense to me that with the technology and by going deeper you will/should find other reserves. Also there is nothing to say there is not a significant reserve at deeper levels just like PD2 going deeper over the initial TD as a result of hydrocarbons and gas? What do you think?
