Wake up Fartys let's go party!!!, page-30

elemental09, I agree with your last post. Yes it is the "norm" to announce discoveries upon completion of testing. My point was about "obligation".

Cairn have declared this to be a tight hole for whatever reason. I don't know the reason (the adjacent lease example is just an example), but whatever it is they are entitled to tell FAR that the discovery is a trade secret until such time as the reason no longer applies. This would allow FAR to withhold the information in accordance with 3.1A.

Note that at some point the reasonableness test in 3.1A.3 will fail and FAR must disclose. Reasonableness test like 3.1A.3 are a wonderful source of business for lawyers and the courts.
