@spantrout RNS well said this on 26th "Re-entry operations are live and Helix is rigged up and actively re-entering the Inez #1 wellbore." so been in there 15/16 days approx.
They surely had a better plan to retrieve the string this time, correct equipment? because they couldn't do it in weeks previously.
I would think they wouldn't devote more than 3/4 days at most to it. I mean it s straight down onto it, grab it, twist it, whatever, it either coming out or not. I suspect stuck pretty fast in the first part of ultramafic.
If they get it out great! Then taken 3/4 days max to drill the 30/40ft in ultramafic to get core samples. It is so notoriously hard and difficult to drill so better have the right drill bit, torque etc this time or same will happen.
That is of course they actually decide to risk drilling the ultramafic again.
Remember this is the objective this time " Production from the Souris River interval is the objective of the re-entry." Whereas the first re entry was to get core samples. So you can see priorities shifted. IMHO I think the odds are heavily that one way or another they won't risk drilling the ultramafic at this stage which is a real shame!
So imho for sure that part finished one way or another.
Either way be onto perforating and testing, I would think well into it.
Given Bo's change demeanour to PI's and statements Re info I doubt hear anything until results of flow testing. I am assuming it is flowing after perforation. No reason why it shouldn't when others did.
So pushing it a bit for anything this week, would be nice if it's good! Because at this rate be breaking below 36 again pretty soon. Watch for increase in volume afternoon. Mind you that wouldn't be hard would it lol. But maybe next week Bo might throw the dogs a bone. Let's hope it is a juicy one because like it or not the market sentiment against HEX is there for all to see and there is a reason for it...............
