I see you allowed for some dry holes, but you didn't allow for any new injection wells.

If you're going to up the overall production volume, you have to increase the injection volume even more to flush the reservoir....

Just something else to lower that 820,000 figure another 20% or so!!

Injection wells come under the "other" category and thus are being drilled with other rigs, I am presuming. But you are possibly correct since the delineation does not occur in the Baker Hughes count.
