Scout information on Sonris states that drilling is suspended for Wells 2&3. I wonder if this is a temporary problem or if they are going to P&A the wells?

    Nothing unusual, George.  Look at the last scout report and the MD (Measured Depth).  It is 2610'.  This is what the majority of wells look like when the operator brings in a "spudder" rig to drill the surface casing portion of the vertical.  The smaller rig saves time and money.  The spudder rig drills past the shallow aquifer and sets the surface casing.  Now all three wells are ready for the big rig to come in and drill the wells to TD (Total Depth). Drilling should resume in the next few weeks.  No problem here.
