BM,
CASP have already drilled a successful deep well through the salt layer down to 5,300m on Airshagyl with no problems using the G70 rig, though the A8 Deep Well was prived to be uncommercial with only producing 120 bopd.
Now they have the funds they can complete the A7 Deep Well again using the G70 rig down to 5,200m.
Note both the A5 and A6 Deep Wells drilled through the salt layer, the problems have been the density of the mud/ barite and rocks blocking the perforated holes, not drilling to TD.
Hopefully with the new formulated acid treatment and this high pressure fluid will cure the problems of flowing the A6 Deep Well, it's not worked in this well previously nor the A5 Deep Well, which is why it's going to be sidetracked, let's hope the A6 Deep Well doesn't need to be sidetracked too.
After 5 weeks since 'expected 2025 YE news' we must be due an A6 Deep Well update anytime.
Fingers crossed it flows π€ will we get to know this week?
