We just finished sampling cores, cuttings and oils at Weatherford and are currently obtaining sediment samples from cores and cuttings at NPD. In early May, we also had a field trip to Aberdeen to sample oils and cuttings from wells in the J-block and the Kessog Field northwest of the Embla Field. 7 wells will be sampled for facies variation in the Upper Jurassic at NPD. 3 wells were sampled at Weatherford and 4 wells in Aberdeen. 14 wells with cores in the Rotligendes Gp will be sampled...
