Thanks for those examples Butch. I have been researching many of these scenarios as well. If wire-line logs WERE to confirm an oil accumulation of around 64m, the size of reserve could be very large. The Heron prospect is over an area of 95 sqkm. What size column were people expecting to find in this upper target zone?

Heron lead: up to 700 MMBblOOIP if filled to spill point in closure with area of 90 sqkm and up to 200m of total vertical closure with averaged net pay at 70 m. Closure is at two stacked levels with up to 40% of closure located offshore.
