The ND prospects have been a group effort. We are looking for correlations with photo-recon geology, soil air hydrocarbon geochemistry, and PIP, but not necessarily in that order. Some prospects were initially identified with photo-recon geology and some were found with PIP. All test have also been blindfold test. We look for correlations that are objective, unknown cross correlations. We are having a lot of luck finding anomalies that overlie one another. That is the norm rather than the exception.
My ND partners are involved with both private and public companies.
When we lease a ND reef prospect, the leases are mostly 160 acres each. We lease only the reef, unless the landowner objects to this. Some do, but not many.
