And another 2 weeks of it!. Actually Corpse, you are correct, drilling ahead is extremely boring when you are actually doing it. Screeching and clanging noises and same 30ft of drill pipe turning in front of your face for hours on end until heyup, we need to make another connection and then 3 minutes of excitement, stop the top drive, take the weight, chuck the slips in lower the weight, break the joint, raise the block, chuck in another pipe, make up the joint, screw in the top drive, take the weight, lift the string coupla inches, take out the slips, switch on the mixer, lower the string and put some weight on the bit and wait another 8 hours for the next 3 minutes of excitement. - well sort of like that.
In the meantime, are we testing anything yet I wonder? and how are those above ground connections and pipework getting on? did we agree a humungous contract yet? All in good time I s'pose. Any shiny stuff in the shakers? gas alarm gone off yet? Geologist getting a h&rd on? nails bitten off? more rubbish posted, apols to all the grown-ups, I'm just a bored teenager.
