Referring back to my original post, one reason for drilling below the gas water contact to evaluate the quality of the reservoir rock might be because the part of the reservoir rock that is below the gas/water contact at the Triceratops-2 location will be above the gas/water contact in the areas of the field that are up dip from or higher than Triceratops-2. Once again if we look at http://www.interoil.com/presentation/201..._Final.pdf charts 14 and 15 you can see that there are parts of the field that will be higher than Triceratops-2. The map on the right side of chart 14 is the one that uses the latest seismic data. On this map they have some of the up dip areas mapped up to 300 meters (984 feet) higher than Triceratops-2 and it looks like the reef is getting higher as it goes off the map to the West.
