Not a stupid question at all. How many ft do you have expected them to drill in 3 days?
The RNS clearly stated, '88 Energy is pleased to report that Rig 111 commenced drilling the Merlin-1 well at 0338 on 10th March 2021 (AK time). The Merlin-1 well will initially be drilled to 1,500, then surface casing will be installed and the Blow Out Preventer system tested. This is expected to take approximately one week to execute. The well will then be deepened through the target horizons in the Nanushuk Formation to a maximum total depth of 6,000.'
If anyone thinks they've reached the target horizons when they haven't even drilled the top section and installed the BOP, they're an utter moron.
