Frequently asked questions

A: The red herring is 'first oil'—juniors often confuse production milestones with phase gates, but the exploration-to-development decision is made earlier at commerciality.

A: The red herring is the reservoir model—important long-term, but poor cement data is an immediate Hazards issue during workovers.

A: The red herring is cuttings transport—important, but mud weight selection is fundamentally about pressure control.

A: The red herring is sand erosion—possible, but flare radiation limits usually shut tests early in high-GOR wells.
