Sorry trying that post again. Somehow the info was posted twice (no not seeing double).
Quiet I am guessing as they probably don;t have the result yet. Don't forget it has been Xmas and public holidays and no one knows how busy the Weatherford;s lab is or what exact day the sample arrived.. Also does anyone know how long it takes to run the test (forgetting any potential back ups in the lab)?

Central Petroleum Announces Surprise-1 Update (EP-115) Oil Shows Lower Stairway
Friday, Dec 03, 2010
Central Petroleum Limited (ASX:CTP) ("Central"), as Operator has pleasure in providing this drilling update for the Surprise-1 well.
At 0600 this morning CST, the well had reached 2,555m TVD RT (True Vertical Depth from Rotary Table).
After encountering additional strong oil shows from 2542.8 ? 2546.2m, a core was cut from 2546.2 ? 2555.0m.
The core recovered is still undergoing detailed analyses and will be sent to Weatherford laboratories in Brisbane to test for permeability, petrology, oil typing and saturation and other properties. Two zones of particular interest in the cored interval showed fracture permeability from 2547 - 2550m. and 2551m. ? 2554m. with light oil bleeding from the fractures with the remainder of the core appearing to have low permeability on initial review.
