Sorry but I don't know. I am really only here for a small increase in my wager. The only person that can really tell us where they are and what is happening is the driller. The permutations are almost endless as to whether they intend to produce from the well or whether they will just dill it and test it open hole and close it in for later. If they want to keep the well then they will have to run casing. Casing looks a bit like a car aerial upside down and getting progressively smaller. . It costs money. It can be pulled if necessary. My initial response to ST was just a matter of saying that before posting something like cementing will take a couple of days, one needs to establish what and why cementing may take place at all. You can cement the casing if there is any, or you can just cement the well to shut it in and bugger off to the next well. Thing is, unless you are the driller, with the drill program and are in control of the doghouse, nobody else in the world will really know what the position is. Guessing and posting nonsense can be detrimental, therefore I was simply trying to encourage folk to look further and to realise that things are not straightforward and are complex. The 40 day target should be given a plus or minus 10 day window for example. Nobody can know what trouble the driller may experience. I have been 'stuck' for 6 weeks without being able to go in or out of the well, blockage above and below, cock up with mud weight, sloughing, directional driller with no clue, p'd off drill crew, poxy weather, all sorts of carp. So its better not to surmise or guess and just wait for the updates.
Last post here I'm sure all will be pleased.
