While our deep prospects have been dominating the news, the team is moving ahead methodically drilling TAG's shallow oil and gas prospects at Cheal. They took a minute to send some shots from the field of a recent perforation at Cheal-E2, as well as modeling some of the new equipment that's in place to move the oil and gas.

And there she goes! Jack starts the

Boom! Successful perforation.

Instrumentation is already in place,
waiting to be connected.

Shane explains how the power fluid
pumps will sit right on the pads.

Out the back of the facility, this is
where the pipe rack will carry gas
down to the flare tank in the distance.
