Well...It's Fixed!... and Fracced!, page-26

Your doing it to me again mandurah.
It doesn't take much urging to get my fertile, but twisted, imagination kicking into gear.
Just trying to visualise what a Plugbuster actually looks like and the size. What colour range they come in.
And all the other uses they could be adapted to.
What springs to mind immediately of course is personal hygiene and those poor baskets afflicted with constipation. I'm sure it's like the big boys swiss army knife ..... except betterer - a 1,001 uses around the house and back yard ....... degreasing the barbee, sorting out cross-threaded nuts - throw your DW40 away, the list is limitless.

But apart from that, I've been surfing the Interactive Investor site and have come across some upbeat posts. My fave is the last one, I've bolded, but they're all good:

1	48 hours would be more than adequate provided they have all equipment. For me this is the risky stage, but great price to buy in as proof of concept is not far away.

3	How long will mill/drill ot take. I assume now more than a week, but I dont know why I assume that !!
4	10:39	Buy Re: Todays RNS good news	HPC Follower	3
5	Yes... this can take a few weeks to complete, but, since any commercial level of gas flow will make a material difference to the profitability of OEX at present, I expect to get another RNS once the plugs are drilled out and some measurements of gas/condensate can be taken at the surface.If the gas pressure is good, this will help push out the frac fluid; and the pressure should be excellent if every one of the 4 perforated areas delivers 5,000 psi to their finished 4.5" pipe.For comparison, VOG's la-105 pipe (now in production from just the lower levels of gas) delivered 11 to 56 MMscf/d plus 251 to 1,000 barrels of condensate at pressures of 2,750 to 4,522 psi - through a pipe limited to 90 MMscf/d. Only 8 MMscf/d usage makes the pipe very commercial at US$16 per Mscf. In India, the price is half, at US$8 per Mscf, but the gas grid is more readily connected through to customers.If OEX can get stable gas outputs at above 20 MMscf/d this would be very good - and there must now be a pretty good chance of this now - plus valuable condensate as well of course.

7	Ok, now we are talking. THe biggest risk has been breached. With a caerful cleanup and (I assume) a flow test plan as well planned & executed as we are currently witnessing; I'll be a happy man in a few weeks.Really feeling some OEX warmth. Maybe the SP will over the next cpl weeks too....BTA

9	I think a CPR on the reserves would need a second or third well in different parts of the reservoir to provide 'sufficient across the field data' - although we could get a rough estimate from Oilex on the potential to produce or something.A long term production test would be a good idea in my view with the revenue helping Oilex financially along with the gathering of good data.joatmon

11	The completion for the fracking and stimulation is obviously good news - we now await the milling out of the plugs and the cleaning up of the well, then the production testing.joatmon
12	Sun 06:48	Re: Estimated recoverable reserves.	Joatmon	1
13	The reserves figure kindly given by HPC Follower from OEX January 2014 presentation are correct.However there are additional contingent reserves (which may or may not be recoverable) but it seems highly likely that some portion is recoverable given the sudden increased pressure noted in the fracking (which must have given access some part of the lower undrilled zones). These zones contain the contingent resources.Looking at the Aug 2013 Investor presentation page 6 gives "Net to Oilex recoverable best estimates of 63mmstb oil and 421BCF gas" - these would be additional reserves if/when proven.
14	Sat 19:30	Re: RNS - Good news	HPC Follower
15	I thought the shale gas was deeper, but perhaps this refers to the prospective figures given by OEX?The HIGH (3C) prospective gross recoverable figures with 6bcf gas = 1 MMboe (million boe) amount to 1,158 MMboe, which is x7 the contingent resource figures.Given Magna Energy now have shares in OEX, rather than 15% of just the Cambay project, this gives OEX as a whole, the potential revenue at 45% of 1,158 MMboe x $100 = $52 billion less costs to extract, sell & overheads - an enormous figure... If just 5% of that could become profit for OEX, shareholders would all be very happy.

It's informative to see what our cousins over there are thinking.

It makes me feel more optimistic - but to quote John Howard (gasp & splutter) - it's best to avoid hubris, it can be your undoing.
