Water, rock, salt, sand, oil. Means the oil is below the salt layer.



Oil Geologists didn’t have the technology to "see" beyond salt. Once it was possible to see beyond salt, it was worthwhile to drill to discover if what your prospection tools ‘saw’ was the truth.
That is the time that the cujones were needed to drill that $1bn well.
