Santos8,
I think the main expectation is with respect to the same shale found in Kudu. Shale is not fractured by tectonic movements and may have sufficient plasticity to trap oil. In the case of the Kudu gas field the difference between accumulations of oil and gas, among other factors, is given by hydrocarbons having undergone different pressures and consequently exposed to different temperatures.
High temperatures find HC in a gaseous state at temperatures below the find in oil window. [The] belief in Moosehead is that the same source rocks in Kudu are active in Moosehead. The shale is also there, and we hope it makes a good trap and that all the conditions of temperature and pressure are favourable, as the porosity of the reservoir Barremian below the shale also has good porosity.
