Drilled to over 23,000 = feet in 5,400 feet of water, this new discovery encountered more than 135 f= eet of gas and gas condensate in two zones. Kerr-McGee and Ocean Energy ea= ch own 50% of Redhawk. Current estimates of reserves in this prospect rang= e between 300 and 500 BCF. For more information see http://www.kerr-mcgee.= com/news2001/102201.html . =20 From http://www.enerfax.com : Salomon Forecast Cold Winter This winter will likely rank in the top third of the coldest in history for= the US, according to the winter forecast by Salomon Smith Barney. However,= the odds do not point to an exceptionally cold winter, such as one of the = top 10 coldest, but that is not totally out of the question. The forecast i= s based on a switch in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation in the northern Paci= fic Ocean from a warm phase for sea surface temperatures, which tends to en= courage mild winters, to a cold phase, which raises the likelihood of a col= der-than-normal winter. Combined with neutral sea surface temperatures in t= he equatorial Pacific Ocean in a year that did not feature an El Nino or La= Nina weather anomaly and an adequate pool of cold air in the northern hemi= sphere, conditions are similar to those prevailing before last winter. Last= week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration winter forecast = called for temperatures to be colder than normal in the Northeast, Upper Mi= dwest, Great Lakes and Great Plains States, with heavy snow in many of the = same areas.=20 Bob Brooks GPCM Natural Gas Market Forecasting Systemhttp://gpcm.rbac.com=20
