What should we expect at Antelope-3 and Elk-3?

Where you argue that Antelope 3 will have a similar gas column of Ant1 (which is rather massive) but the better (average) rock quality of Ant2, if that were to pan out, would the numbers (even of gas in place) not increase? Or is it that this is what the evaluators also expect, implicitly? Ant1 had 2277ft of net pay and average porosity of 8.8% while Ant2 had 1175ft of net pay but an average porosity of 14%. Having an Ant3 of 2000ft+ net pay and average porosity of 14% or so seems, well, rather massive.. Where ever I read about wells, they rarely have these kind of metrics.

After doing a little more research to answer a question in a "Triceratops string"  I wrote the following which I am moving here where it belongs since it is about Elk-3:

Elk-2 hit the top of the limestone at -2262 meters sub sea. The gas/water contact is at -2248 meters sub sea. I expect Elk-3 to hit the top of the limestone at about -1750 meters sub sea or roughly 500 meters higher than the gas/water contact.


The top 500 meters of rock at Elk-2 had about 103 meters of pay i.e. 2% porosity or better. The average porosity of this 103 meters of pay was 7.4% (6.6% in-situ).  I am hoping to find some porosity better than this at Elk-3 but if that does not pan out we should have at least 100 meters (328 feet) of net reservoir rock in the 500 meters (1,640 feet) of fractured limestone that we drill above the gas/water contact.


We should make a good high volume gas well and prove that we do have at least some matrix porosity in the Main Elk Fault Block. Perhaps this will be good enough to get GLJ to add a little to the resource volume.

Pet, what about Admin's question about ANTELOPE 3 (which, of course, I recognize you may be working on)?
