The
Interpretation...
next
Potential Intermediate Wells for the
First Example
- There is no possible way for the intermediate channel to miss
G1, given the wells already drilled in that area. Therefore,
square G1 is a sure thing at the intermediate depth.
- The intermediate channel probably goes through G3, H3, and I3
to join with the channel drilled at J3, K3, etc.
- The channel very likely turns south at M3 because there are
no shallow wells in this column to suggest an unlikely path for
the channel.
- B16 has an intermediate well. One adjacent square, B17, also
has an intermediate well. Squares A16 and B15 were drilled to the
intermediate but turned up dry. This leaves C16 as being a sure
thing.
Potential Shallow Wells
- Given that shallow fields have a maximum size of 8
´ 8, the shallow wells in the east
half of the map are actually two separate fields. The dry shallow
wells in rows 9 & 10 show the boundary of these two fields.
- The outer boundary of the northern field seems to be at
Columns J & Q. Not enough wells have been drilled to define the
boundaries of the southern field.
- The southern field probably extends at least one row south of
the intermediate well at P15.
Potential Deep Wells
- Some successful deep wells were drilled at C6 and D6. Because
all deep fields are two squares wide, squares C7 and D7 also have
deep oil (a sure thing).
- Because all deep fields are at least four squares long,
squares B6, B7, E6, & E7 are also very likely to have deep oil.
Note that the intermediate well at B6 did not go deep enough to
determine if deep oil was present or not.
