I just asked IR why sometimes does it take longer to get results etc. The first part of the email I didn't include because it's just repetitive info...results from Forest will hopefully be out when they discuss there end of year results...and from Talisman thereafter.
So Anela said:
The testing process is quite a bit more complicated for unconventional shale plays. There is a longer clean up and core lab results have been slow to acquire which then also need to be analyzed. The timeline has taken a bit longer than expected but we still feel very confident that results will be positive and will move us into commercialization in 2010/2011.
We will send out an update as results become available.
Best Regards,
Anela
