They believe that the recovery potential is 65 million bbl of oil equivalent. They based their estimate on 7 horizontal and 4 vertical wells that they have already drilled. They stated that the typical horizontal recovery potential is estimated at 400,000 net boe for $6.5 million per well, or a 40% direct after-tax reinvestment rate of return.
