i wonder who really has the obsession since the mantra here at eegc with a few expert at twisting facts has always been to downgrade the discovery potential in tasmania via empire energy.for years the same few will never acknowledge a seep of any kind in tasmania.they cling to a 2000 geological report that states basically no seeps in tasmania but for the bitumen seep at lonnavale[referred to as a farce] discovered in 1995.i have therefore taken the few dissenters to task showing several articles by mrt docs [mineral resources tasmania]mentioning the recent tasmanian geological survey bulletin 72 of 2007 that emphatically refers to the lonnavale seep as a seep.still the denials persist as in the word obfuscation.nevertheless in the spirit of truth i share the mrt 2007 geological survey bulletin 72 report you the reader judge for yourself. please go to page 22 and read for yourselves.. i earnestly hope eegc proves soon by drilling how wrong these few have been by proving the hydrocarbon potential in tasmania.imo

"seep at Lonnavale, WSW of Hobart (fig. 15), was
derived from a Tasmanites-bearing source (Revill,
1996). A suggested mechanism is heat from intruding
dolerite generating hydrocarbons from an oil shale
source, with migration facilitated by fractures in the
dolerite (Bacon et al., 2000).
