Such a load of bull about the word pleased
For example this preceded the Merlin failure by just 7 days
88 Energy Limited (ASX:88E, AIM:88E, OTC:EEENF) (88 Energy or the Company) is pleased to report
that the Merlin-2 appraisal well has reached Total Depth (TD) of 7,334 feet on 22 March 2022 (Alaskan
time) and drilling has now ceased. The Arctic Fox rig has exceeded expectations in terms of drilling
performance, with the well reaching TD safely and efficiently.
All three Nanushuk targets (N20, N19 and N18) were penetrated during drilling, with Logging While
Drilling (LWD) data and physical cuttings collected throughout the Merlin-2 program.
Initial observations of LWD logs and drill cuttings collected throughout the drilling operations revealed
target intervals are thicker than those encountered in Merlin-1 as anticipated pre-drill, with oil shows
noted under white light in the three target Nanushuk reservoirs. Fluorescence has also been observed
in numerous samples when placed under an ultraviolet light, an indication of oil presence. Additionally,
when solvent was applied to the fluorescing samples, “moderately fast” to “immediate and blooming”
“cuts” were noted, the speed of which is often a proxy for sample permeability.
