.... on the western front this morning and lots of sells? Any thoughts

Now 10.8

Now 10.5

Now 10.3

...to10.1

When the downhole fluid is being displaced to bring in the well what comes out of the well will be ignited as a flare until the well product is clean and then the well will be closed in. A good sign if a very healthy flare is observed.

Remember what happened to JFK when he pi55ed the oil barons off.

.....when dealing with explosives and associated equipment, usually carried out by Schlumberger or similar operator and these people are not just standing around waiting for a call from PRD they will have other operations they may be dealing with. Don't panic Mr, Mainwaring.

Has it been declared that the hole is cased down to the present TD?

Remember in the 30's the UK having thrown away the chance to exploit Saudi the Yanks were about to pull the plug having drilled a number of wells then decided to drill one more and the rest is history.

As I remember things the basic mud ingredients were Barite and Bentonite in bulk then specific additives were introduced through the mixing hopper from paper sacks. Brine was mixed from 1metric ton sacks.

Daven your total lack of understanding of the logistics and construction of the oil industry shines through. In the middle east testing companies are based in the various countries because they are constantly working. In Morocco not so. Up until now the priority was Mou2 but since the reevaluation Mou1 has become the priority where testing equipment and personnel need to be mobilised and this takes time. Paul explained the financial conservation issues but you obviously missed that bit. Now get back in line behind Charlotte.

I would be happy to tell you again Charlotte but you would be incapable of understanding the details. BHA., Turbo drill, Whipstock, MWD, LWD, ROP(not relating to bedroom or kitchen table activities). I can give you a few more.

Charlotte because you are totally ignorant of drilling and rig operations you flap your gums like a baying bull, You come across to me as a guesser who, if you are right, give yourself an enormous pat on the back likely to break your spine then walk around with a leer on your face nodding your head. If you are wrong you disappear from the BB. Seen many in my time like this.

Jonny have you ever been involved with onsite drilling operations and how they work given the problems that can occur during a drilling operation. Do you think the drill crew will be stood around with their fingers up their ar**es. One metre/hour is galloping ahead in some drilling operations when certain conditions arise. Do you know the daily rig rate or is your massive expense just a guess. Side tracking or deviating may be a possibility. Drilling conditions dictate the make up of the Bottom hole Assembly and this can be change a number of times during operations.

Seen many many promlems like this over the years. Fall back and regroup

Day rate usually starts when the bit starts turning to the right. A one off mobilisation fee may have been agreed.

Drilling operations never stop for Christmas.

Haz, look at the last 19 RNS's from 9th Nov. and that might give you some idea.

Not much of a rush to buy, hope we see something better.
