Second guessing the team without all the info seems a bit silly except to pass the time . To assume Total doesn't know what it's doing is even more nonsense . Something else is going on that we are not part of and never will be best guess.
It is impossible for me to conceive how wells in a sedimentary formations having the depth and porosity of E/A's could not be connected. The connectivity thing is a given. If their pressure models a are good enough (maybe they have some real high level super computer models running) it is hard to imagine what they might know. For one I believe it to be other worldly that astronomers figured out how to measure gravity waves. Talk about precision.
Just can't understand though how drilling and pressure testing were scheduled to overlap. Rookie mistake? Hubris? Carelessness?
