Skip,

Thanks for the heads up on this policy...

Skip,

Does the weekly report that you get the current depth of the Burkley-Phllips #1 also contain temperature and bottom hole pressure? That would also be interesting information to include each week....

Thanks,
Bob

No.

Why?? Mainland Resources, Burkley-Phillips #1 reported 91 days drilling ahead @ 17,875' on 10-22-10.

Skip,

Thanks for your reports. Only 72' last week, do you get any other status information that might explain the slow down?

You're welcome. No, the preprietary report that I subscribe to only reports what I post. Details must come from company announcements. There are numerous possible reasons for only 72' in additional depth. Maybe one of our drillers can tells us how long a 17,800' pipe trip takes.

They spent the week setting pipe to enter the next formation. No drilling was done.

do you have the actual log? or just the log's header?

jeff, suggest that you look back through this entire discussion. This is from Page 6:

Get you some of this. Only took Chevron a year to reach TD on this puppy. Should be real simple drilling for an outfit like Mainland.

Skip;

Thank you for helping me to recall that I downloaded the file [chevron_well.pdf} back in early August and have referred to it a number of times during the past few months. I appreciate this communities' willingness to share such documents. Just as I thought, this document is the 'Header' to a "Dual Induction - SFL" Log. Unfortunately we are missing 99% percent of the original document and practically all of it's intended data. This 'Header' was at one time followed by the body of the document which likely contained three tracks: 1) this track housed the Gamma Ray Trace, Rate of Penetration (inverse scale) and possibly the caliper trace. 2) Three different resistivity traces were in this track. these measurements were taken from shallow, medium, and deep depths of investigation; and could have been plotted linearly from 0 to 20 ohms or logarithmically 0.2 to 2000 ohms (though other scales exists). 3) the third track would have housed the conductivity and possibly a temperature trace. All of the tracks and traces above would share either Measured Depth or True Vertical Depth as the Log's Independent Variable.

Petrophyicsist and others who routinely work with well logs like the one mentioned above would be able to extract vast amounts of information from such a document. If I could get my hands on this missing well log, I could quickly determine if the pay is there or not. That would eliminate one of the numerous variables to take into account when considering a purchase of MNLU stock. Unfortunately, MNLU/AEXP are not making public the data contained in the missing log, and strangely this log (which should be public record) is also missing from the Mississippi Oil & Gas Board's Archive. Fortunately, the C.P. Long et al #1 well is not the only hole to have ever penetrated jurassic shales which equal or better the seemingly far-fetched claims of MNLU.

Any copies of the mud log from that old well available for public scrutiny?

an hour per 1000' ft is an average speed for land rigs... but i'm no driller
