What exactly is the Cline Shale?

Thank you Przzz your comments are always welcome. I don't mean to be heated discussion am just saying it makes a difference to Nolan and Mitchell Counties for example. One of these days I am going to see if you will explain to me how Midland Basin and Val Verde transition. Thank you very much for all your posts I always learn from them.

Slides like this underscore the fact that each company views the subsurface differently in many instances. It is like looking at a translation of the subsurface in Hebrew vs. Greek - same original language but different interpretations depending the language being translated to.

The only true way to differentiate one from the other is to have all the data across a wide area and then make your own interpretation.

This stratigraphic relationship is not a clear cut difference like Woodford vs. Devonian or San Andres vs. Grayburg. In fact, IMO it is the perfect definition of "grey" vs. black and white differences.

Which brings me back to a comment that has been laid out previously - getting in heated discussions as to Cline vs. Wolfcamp D is not worth the concern and effort. Almost like politics and religion in many respects.
