Please forgive if this suggestion is naive/simplistic. The problem with the existing wells, as so eloquently described by Keith, is the mud causing obstruction to flow through the previously-uncompacted sands. Would a solution to all previous drills, assuming the targets are still valid, be to undertake sidetracks at reservoir levels into virgin, uncompacted sands and then complete with modern methods, eg slotted liners, as described by Keith? This should be considerably cheaper than further new drills. Thx. miidas
