AKPO... If the JDZ oil reservoirs are an extension of AKPO or are geologically similar to Akpo a reason for not drilling deeper to the oil layer may be explained by the following quote.

" The reservoir fluid in Akpo is a critical fluid; therefore, whether it is a fluid or gas depends on temperature, pressure, and depth. Consequently, no sharp gas/liquid line exists within the hydrocarbon leg."

If a gas oil line does not exist why drill deeper than the gas cap? It may also explain Kownski's observation that Addax/Sinopec are drilling at the apex of the prospects which would be the most shallow point in the field.

Any comments from the oil experts?
