Jft - Good am . I spent a little time yesterday reviewing the May 14,2013 presentation by IOC.(.. Good way to spend a rainy afternoon ...by the 'old guy' ..Ha,ha). Anyway,page 18 deserved a second look at the chosen Tri #3 location . I couldn't seem to locate their latest seismics, but that data must have re-affirmed their conviction to drill the #3 in this location rather than one to the SW of Tri #2 . Also,tried to determine distance from Tri 3 to lease line north to ppl 338. [ Pet would probably know ....I'm guessing about 5 kms.] Phil,along with Kina,will probably be watching our results with a "keen" intererst .By any chance,do you recall the elevation level (depth) that we hit the top of the reservoir in Tri #2 ? If not,I will do some more searching . Thanks .

Jft - When I looked further,still could not find the top of the upper reservoir in Tri #2.....however, in one of Phil's reports I did see info on dst in that zone at 4,111 ft (1253 m) to 4859 ft (1481 m) so I believe somewhere close to the 4,111 ft is the top of our res. fm. Maybe they will tell us when and where they pick the top in Tri #3 . The lower reservoir in the Tri #2 dst showed a small amount of condensate. If that lower reservoir is still present in Tri #3 and is still seperated by that 264 ft impervious layer in Tri #2 and it comes in a couple of hundred feet higher, then a dst there may be more revealing ....possibly on the "good side" . Best to you.
