Vanishing Act in 02, 17n, 16w

Re: HA RA SUFF Hammock, well 239887
Last info on SONRIS seemed to indicate spud of 7/9, surface casing complete and drilling. Today, Nabors 507 derrick down, loaded on trucks and headed to another location

What happened? Could it just be mechanical failure and another rig will be set up to complete the well, or is it all over?

thanks for any input

Chesapeake does that too. They spud with a small rig and within a week or so the big rig comes in, along with the trailor house village.
