Hi Jungleinvestor, ". They've detected movements in the deep reservoir caused by the moon which it is said occurs only for huge reservoirs (Aggie would appreciate your comments on this phenomenon). " I've heard of it, but in other circumstances. I know of horizontal wells in the Far East which are in fairly deep water but not far below the seabed - they show a distinctly tidal fluctuation in reservoir pressures, i.e., the reservoir responding to changes in water column height due to tidal influence. As for deep land locked reservoirs, there have been cases where fluctuating reservoir pressures are tied to the moon's phase, i.e. a subtly changing reservoir pressure which is particularly evident when the moon approaches full. Usually there is an indication of this effect, but little more and not enough to offer categorical proof. Also I've heard (anecdotally) of higher production rates during full moon phases. Don't know if it's true or not. Is there more information available, or just this high-level verbage? If they don't get more specific, then it must reasonably be written off to sucker hype. Not to be too pessimistic (my two cents coming), but Columbia is still too shaky in my book - and a lot of the text in your press release has the strong flavor of a high risk venture trying to attract investors with some pie in the sky. Been there, done that, still have my Arakis T-Shirt. Good Luck to you. Regards to all, Aggie
