Admin - Thanks for this information. These geologists really know how to give you a head ache don’t they? I will probably never understand all of this but I take some comfort in knowing that the data was put together in 1995 which was before IOC came on the scene. As you know the Elk/Antelope discovery changed the geologists ideas (at least IOC geologists) of what we might expect in the
Gulf Province and maybe along the coast. Back in 1995 they had the drilling data and quite a bit of legacy seismic data but since then, in the last 15 - 20 years, we have obtained more drilling data, more seismic data and a lot more aerial gravity and magnetic data along with the geologic field surveys and core holes.
In the old days they drilled without sufficient seismic data and they were not very successful. Hopefully we have learned that lesson and we will do all of the necessary seismic work before drilling in the future. As a result I am hoping that we will be able to identify some traps and/or reefs along the coast even though they may be smaller than Elk/Antelope.
