Errata

In the February 2009 issue of the SPE Reservoir Evaluation & Engineering Journal, paper SPE 123424, "Long-Term Field Development Opportunity Assessment Using Horizontal Wells in a Thin, Carbonate Reservoir of the Greater Burgan Field, Kuwait," by Anil K. Ambastha, Dawood Al Matar, and Eddie Ma, featured an obscured Fig. 2. The corrected Fig. 2 is featured below. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
