Thank you again Lanman for providing the data that places a couple of key Mako wells in context with other basins.

Now, going forward on the thoughts expressed earlier, there are some key issues to to contend with and they are connected to each other. ONE issue is that we still have the CO2 and H2S (did I get it right?, if not please feel free to put the correct lettering) to contend with. Within a threshold they have to be removed to make the natural gas comercial, this adds cost to an already expensive process. TWO, at higher temperatures and pressures these gases would be even more damaging to the equipment and piping, thus adding greater costs and possibly pushing the deeper sections over the un-economic precipice. THREE if as you say staying shallower than 4500 m is better, and if going deeper is not feasible due to the issues expressed above, then we would loose a significant amount of possible reserves. So we are not potentially as rich as we thought, we would not be able to exploit as much ground as we dreamed, and would further explain why XOM in its infinite wisdom decided to stay in the Szolnok and leave for now, if not for ever, the deeper section. FOUR There is in all this an explanation as to why MOL is interested in unitizing their ground to FO's. We understand XOM's intention, it makes sense for them to treat the whole thing as one. It still does not make sense for FO. Most of the pools of exploitable gas will be either in one or the other ground, unlikely to overlap all along the basin.
