Art, for whats its worth, my sources who work in the industry are in agreeance with Pup. They have told me that the respective oil companies that they work for would have drilled an exploratory well first, to gain as much information about the acreage as possible, it would be a throwaway well based solely for informational purposes. However, if the rumors flying around about the exploratory well are true, just imagine what they expect to find when they begin drilling in the sweet spots.
