Currently, the lower zone of this well is estimated to be produced on the immobilisation of the intensity of some 200,000 cfgpd (cubic feet per day) in the Duke Energy system for the collection. The estimated reserves in this area, using the journal, and movement of 3D seismic survey should be between 320000000 and 530000000 cfg or 3 / 10 (thousand) to 1 / 2 BCF (billion cubic feet) of
natural gas. Like all the wells, which are really the calculation of reserves, also will have to produce in a few months.

oil and gas wells are evaluated by rigorous economic and not emotional ones. If the economics of partnership, we will drill for gas, as we did in this instance.
