ERHClongtimer, I see your point, but consider this. It's true it's not one big multi-block connecting field, but the MC does indeed transverse 4 or more blocks. Even though the traps are seperate, the oil once flowed through the MC, and there should be traps all along it.
Keep in mind that we are only talking about the top reservoirs. As nick says, we know nuttin about the much deeper stuff, which may have some pre-salt.
Thanks for your thoughts.
