Access depths |
|
"Access depth" is defined as the depth at which an exploration well intercepts the target reservoir. If this depth is below the hydrocarbon-water contact you will not make a discovery even if the prospect "works" in every other respect. Access depth introduces a new sort of risk. Access depth can be defined for each prospect. See Prospect - access depth for more detail.
Access depth is one of the consolidation input dialogs:
