I'd like to know from the experts, do we really need to find 2000 feet of the gas-bearing layer to prove up several trillion cubic feet? In other words, is reserve size always largely a property of the depth, or could a larger, but shallower structure prove up that same several trillion cubic feet as well, eg. via favorable porosity and pressure? Or, with a shallower structure, would we have to wait for additional wells to prove up this amount? I'm sure there are book-length answers to this, but maybe someone could generalize.
