TECO found oil - bottom line!!! It may not be as significant to the Belize government's expectation. Uncle Cho was expecting the samples to be like "dripping oil" out of his palm. His conclusion is based on how Uncle Jed found oil accidentally when he was in the back of the woods hunting lol. Uncle Cho did not see dripping oil, therefore, he concluded TECO had not found oil in his backyard.
Or...Is this an EGO thing because they weren't told first before TECO put the news out?
From the 8K released on 31 Jan
"On-site personnel evaluated the samples and concluded that the characteristics are very similar to some of the great oil producing zones in Texas, specifically the Ellenburger Lime, Hope Lime, Caddo Lime, and Edwards Lime."
From the PR release today 1 Feb
"Lime must be treated to enhance oil recovery. Standard treatment for lime includes treatment of the formation with additives to enhance inter-capillary wicking, which in return promotes oil flow to the well bore"
