Yep, I did not think that rumor carried much weight.

Thanks again.

Considering the complex nature of the E&P business it is easy for laymen to misunderstand or misinterpret what they see and hear.  Rumors run rampant in all emerging plays.  Most are of no harm.  You're welcome.

Skip,

Spoke with an EnCana employee regarding some lease issues Thursday.  I asked her about the drilling time table.  She looked up some information on her weekly report and confirmed that both Sabine 12H 1 & 2 are being drilled at the same time.  They expect to be finished with #1 by the first week in September and with #2 by the last week in September.

Thanks, William.  Yes, I figured that out but haven't come up with a good reason for why the rig is drilling both wells at the same time.  It makes it difficult to keep up with progress.  As long as their both are good wells it really won't matter.

Skip,

You know way more about this stuff than I do, but, I was told that they are able to walk the drilling platform over and while casing is going on in one hole, drilling is happening at the other.  They said it saves time and money.

I'm familiar with walking rigs but there is no way to run and cement casing without having a drilling rig to do the job.

Any new news on this one?  Are they still doing core sample work?

Skip,

I heard on another bulletin board that the rig had been down the last two weeks doing core samples.  Is that something to be concerned with?

Core samples will be important in tweeking the completion designs for specific areas of the play based on variations in the rock.  It doesn't take two weeks to take a core although it does add drilling days whenever the operator decides to drill a Pilot Hole.  No reason for concern.
