Reactive clay can be a challenge to drill effectively. Everyone has heard the horror stories. By using a reamer designed for clay, a fluid system to break down and inhibit the clay, and pump at an appropriate ratio, you can get your bores completed on time in the trickiest ground.
Just spent an hour reading about our situation. There’s a lot there.
To be honest the more I read the more confident I become. I now understand why the Rig is staying in place and hopefully the experts will choose the correct changes that need to be made to progress. Obviously if those materials are not on site it might take a few days. We have one of the worlds best rigs and crews in the world on site and I feel we are in good hands. Update obviously on the 1st Feb if not before.
