The leases have been acquired. The geologic and geophysical data have been interpreted, maps have been made, depth to the objective pay zone has been calculated, and a location has been staked. Now the acid test is begun. The well is spudded in. No one knows if you have hydrocarbons until you get there, until you get to the pay zone, until you get to the proposed depth.
