I am not up on drilling terms. What is a kick ? Also on Sonris under drill status it says 05 what does that mean if anything.

kick=influx of formation fluid (or gas) into the wellbore while drilling. No idea what 05 means, but I bet they are fishing drillstring.

Status Code 05, Drilling (New drill/Re-entry/Re-Permit).  As opposed to Status Code 04, Drilling (Sidetrack of Existing Well).

hopefully they recovered the string and are drilling ahead... with a modified mud program!

Would the kick have caused the drill string to become stuck or some other event.

It can cause stuck pipe, or it can be a part of another complication that can cause stuck pipe.

Looks like they give up on the Fish job, starting over on the lateral. 

"3/27/12, SET 500' CEMENT PLUG FROM 9378'-9878'. 4/2/12, RE-TEST BOP. 4/2/12, SET THE WHIPSTOCK AT 9510'. 4/2/12, MILLING AT 9520'."

Please explain.  Does this mean they could lose the well?
