into the shale. Any analysis program should include multiple DFITs (diagnostic fracture injection tests) to<br />

confirm PDL (pressure dependent leakoff) behavior that would be caused by natural fractures.<br />

We suggest pilot wells be pursued across the proposed project area running all available geochemical<br />

and oriented stress logs and then correlate all measurements to full core measurements. Set casing on<br />

these wells with tubulars large enough to use the same wells for whip-stock horizontal utility in the near<br />

future.<br />

The two uppermost intervals of the Aalburg shale should be better evaluated with vertical well testing in<br />

the same program. It also has to have a structural dip less than 10 degrees in any particular area to be a<br />

viable horizontal target.<br />
