>Mr Lanman,any comment on the wording in the Exxon approved NR that they are not testing the gas flows but the hydrocarbon potential....In my mind this harks back to comments made last year by the Company that in their view the world in time will acknowledge we have not just an unconventional gas play but an unconventional oil play aswell...
I certainly noticed the wording, but all I would say it means is that it's most certainly an 'appraisal well' as apposed to an exploration well. Personally I won't jump to any conclusions over their use of the word hydrocarbons as apposed to gas though.
