Good explanation, although I'm not overally concerned about the pressure drop-off .. I'm looking for oil. There still could be oil there under little pressure? - Blina had oil in the Nullara.
just wondering if they could use a pump to extract whats down there ... mud/oil/water? at least they'd know. .. or they could do the cheap test .. drop a lighted match down there and measure the earth quake magnitude?
Bg.
