Mike, don't they usually drill horizontals after the first test well to increase production, or is that just on oil fields? Also, do I understand the posts on sour gas? I'm thinking I read where that can be corrected with chemicals and the more expensive non-corrosive pipes and equipment, already ordered for this well. As for the blowout possibility, haven't they reduced the risk of that with top-notch personnel and extra time and money put into the prep and evaluation/testing? If the deep well risk of water is a problem on one well, couldn't they drill other wells on that 18,000 acres? Of course that would be a disaster on delay alone, but I'm under the impression we are pretty low risk on this well, relatively speaking. I'm not sure I understand all this, likely not. What's your feeling on all this? Dee
