So, I guess it will probably delay it another couple of months? What causes something like this to happen FXEF. Will they have to move the rig over and start all over?
I'm really not sure exactly what happened, but they were having problems with the top drive, and pipe can stuck due to not moving it for a significant amount of time. There are a lot of reasons for pipe to get stuck though.
It is my understanding they can start drilling at 10,645 ft. and sidetrack the cemented well bore. They lost over 5,000 ft. of drill pipe that had to be cemented in the well bore. This will also add two or three more weeks to drilling.
In the picture above, the rig hand on the ladder is working on the top drive.
you are right James. It is just west (my brain wasn't working--had a migraine most of the weekend) of Kicapoo Corner. Info on it hit Sonris. Hopefully 18 will come in this good too
