Really don't see the reservoir arguments of shorts holding much if any weight at all. The table that lt out up the other day which is from the SPA and says basically, here is what the two parties see as the basic dimensions of the reservoir(s). Reservoir estimation as based on several things; volumetrics backed up by core samples, wire line logs, DSTs etc. That's all in the data room and been eyeballed by many REAL experts.
From all of that they come up with estimates and the P50 is the 50% probability of quantity, not some arbitrarily assigned probability. And the 5.4 TCFE is not what Total sees as the P50; as stated in the IOC filed docs it's a "threshold". Now what is a "threshold"? Pretty obvious.
So at least a fair P50 seems at this point would be an average of GLJ and GCA. GLJ is based on more recent data, so it gets more weight. Total will get what they need. So will IOC, and so will we. This will play out very nicely.
