ohmikeyoh,

The pressures are similar but the spikes are associated with fractured zones and that's due to the gas pressure drive mechanism that exists in Cuba.

What I think is occurring is the base of each lower sheet section is heavily fractured and in particular with Marti has intense pressures.

Consider the condition of the mud weight and external pressure being at equilibrium and an emulsion forming at that equilibrium. Hence the issue of a stubborn emulsion and probably only an acid wash out would break the surface tension of the emulsion.

We need to break that seal and allow the sweet crude to flow with the added assistance of the gas pressure drive system. Now that's some technical toilet humour.

best of luck holders
