LOT, on this point:
“If its by reverse circulation then it is in fact the mud that is pulling the gas to surface because there simply isn't enough pressure in the zone to do it on its own (this is what we don't want). If its free flowing from the zone itself to surface ie there is more pressure in the zone than in the well bore letting it move that direction - then we have a chance of a successful well.”
Lorna said in an interview (after drilling, and after TD was reached) that they were going to fit packers to the zones of interest, then look to take samples. Post that, we then had the news of the 4.7% gas to surface. So, if that’s after drilling, it would surely be free flowing to surface, not in drilling mud.
