Oil will always rise to sit on top of water. The fact that they found oil on top of water, of Scythian age at the 15128 level, makes one wonder as to the source of that oil . The fact that drilling has slowed because of hard dolomite, limestone and shale suggests that there is a hard cap on top of the deep crater that showed up on seismic. The only way to find out what the crater contains is to drill into it . As far as the Triassic goes, we already know they tried to find productive zones with the Ma'anit #1 so they don't need to spend time perforating at this point. If the permian pool comes up dry, then I suspect they'll try to find a good spot to perforate in the Triassic to salvage the well. Of course, if the pool is full of oil, well that's the most exciting part. jmho This is really exciting. Oil will always rise to sit on top of water.
