Negative 6m in 6 days. A record alright18 Nov 2024 22:03
What is strange to me is that on the 12th we were told the following.
"The SS2H ST1 sidetrack well is currently at a depth of 16,201 feet (4,938 metres), and it is hoped that the drilling of the well will be completed in the coming days."
This to me indicated the sidetrack was ongoing and soon to be complete at 3,000 m horizontal.
Then 6 days later we read:
"18 November 2024 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce that the Shenandoah South 2H sidetrack (“SS2H ST1”) well has been cased and suspended at a total measured depth of 16,182 feet (4,932 metres) in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, Northern Territory, Australia"
So in 6 days we went back 6 meters. That's a fairly big directional issue alright. I wonder if they already knew they stuffed up the side track as in someone said skipper we have an issue with the sidetrack and they put their fingers in their ears and hammered out and RNS so they didn't have to come to market saying we've stuffed up 2 more holes. The drill bit must have snapped off close to the home straight on the first drill as they hit the 3,000m and if they are happy you frack another shorty at 1,800 you've got yo think the drill head is stuck between 0-500m from the return curve. Bad luck indeed..
The 5% is turning into a good thing short term but that's only 3 wells out of 200 and it wasn't a master stroke from the board..we couldn't get that raise done at the numbers needed to fund more than that 5% meaning we had no other choice than a 5% stake.
