"Looking ahead, with a diverse portfolio of cash flowing assets, potential for substantial future organic growth, a solid financial footing and a talented and dedicated team of employees, we continue to be extremely optimistic about Zephyr's future."... Well, that's OK then. I'll let the bank know that i am optimistic about our future mortgage payments on that basis.
As feared when the news of the blowout arrived months ago, 36-2 is broken and my guess is that it is best left under a controlled condition without spending good money after bad until they plug it and drill another well next year. Keep the income coming in, spend nothing and accumulate the funds for a new well and in the meantime squeeze the insurers for as much as possible. Note, there is no information about the amount of pipe left down the hole or progress, probably makes no difference if the well cannot be considered as suitable to manage the high pressures evident due to the damage. They may be able to salvage the shallow section if the integrity of the casing there remains acceptable to the experts and the insurance Co. The background development of the company. extra acres and participation in new wells is encouraging. Not sure I'll live long enough to see it out though.
