FYI....Dominique 27 Scout Report from August 8, 2011

Old Scout - this one has meaning to me.  I saw the same report, but don't have much clue as to what it all means.  In layman's terms, can you offer any guidance?  Are things progressing as the operator is expecting?

I know about as much as the average Joe on this board and clueless about the operator's expectations. The only thing I'm looking at is the total depth to see how close they are to the end of the line and completion.

Permitted Total Depth 23,200; Permitted True Vertical Depth 16500; that means a horizontal run of 6,700. That seems like a long horizontal and I translate that into a pretty serious effort on their part.  So if you look at the reported depth in this 8/8/2011 report (17, 989), they've gone horizontal for 1,489 (17,989 - 16,500). In total linear feet, they're about 78% of the way home (17,989/23,200). Last week's report (8/1/2011) had them at a Measured Depth of 16,570 with these remarks: "SLIDE, DRLD, & MWD SURVEY T/ 16570'; TSTD BOPS 7/26/11;"  In simplistic terms, that means total progress in 1 week of 1,419 (203 ft/day), leaving them with 5,211 to go. Assuming this rate is constant, it's looking like they'll get to permitted depth of 23,200 on September 3. Keep in mind these numbers are pie in the sky and don't consider any of that geo stuff that goes on 3 miles down, but I find it's better than doing crossword puzzles!

Hey, Old Scout, when did you matriculate for the Ole War Skule?  I did in 1963.

I saw my first LSU game in '59. I actually went to college out of state. Our English department never taught us what matriculate meant. But as Muhammad Ali once said, "If it's good, then I'm it".

Your 10 years ahead of me....

I saw my first game in 1952 as a Boy Scout usher.  I started at LSU in 1958, graduated in 1963.  So I was there for the first modern day National Football Championship.  Those were the days.

I thought the game day experience was better back then. I miss the smell of Cigar smoke waffling through the air. The lady six rows back always sang the Alma Mater in an operatic voice and it was always an adventure sneaking in my friend, Jack. Player size didn't matter so much but grit and toughness got you a long ways. They played for the glory of the game and the school, and self-adulation didn't exist yet.

ROTATE & SLIDE DRLG; TSTD BOPS 8/11/11

I understand the first part, but what does TSTD BOPS indicate?
