Not good.  OSHA will shut down the site to do an investigation.  I can guarantee that the driller will be fined.  OSHA does not get funding, it lives off fines.  So it they investigate, they are gonna find something and fine somebody.  Also the crew is going to be upset too.  So I expect it will be some time before activity starts up again.  And it is terrible that some one lost their life.  Oil well drilling is classified as "mining."  And mining has the worst accident ratings regardless of whether it is above ground or under ground.  Risky business.

Bet crew and much of drilling staff ends up on other rigs that belong to this contractor. Aside from the possibly the head guy who was on the rig when the accident occurred.

Good to see them back to drilling again

HERE's our next Rapides Parish well SN#251809 AUS C RA SU80: CROWELL LM 30 H has been permitted today.

Looks like this is a re-permit for SN# 25311?

thanks Lisa,  i knew the rig was rumored to arrive around july 4th.  ive been waiting to see the permit hit sonris . 

Your welcome!  Anything in Rapides hits my radar I will share.  I have vested interest myself.  This is Marathon too right?

Yes this is their first well,  same pad from first drilled well where they ran into too much pressure for the rig.  They hv been waiting on this larger rig to free up to come redrill site!  Fingers crossed! 

Same here!   Fingers crossed too!

This will probably be a more expensive operation with bigger rig, different mud system, more / deeper casing, more days of operation.

O&G reserves will have to be significant to make this work - that IS the oilfield chess game!

Hoping that they can get this well into their target and get the AC evaluated.

Thanks RM for the realistic logistics we have to consider in hoping for a successful play.  Your expert input keeps  all of us grounded while fantasying for Gushers!! 

Rigs are up on Brunswick and upper Pointe Coupee - LaCour Field.  So it will not be long now before we know whether we have successful wells.  Note I did not say Economically successful wells, but wells that are indeed producing minerals.  The Brunswick well is on the southern edge of Amelia Resources drawn area.  We know from the old Wilbert well in the Moore Sams Field that there is deep gas in the Tuscaloosa Trend in the area that lies between Morganza Field and Moore Sams Field.   But neither of these wells goes that deep.  We also know LaCour #43 was a lateral well into the Austin Chalk that did not prove to be successful.  For the first time in a long time there are two rigs drilling in Pointe Coupee.  We have had on and off a rig drilling in Profit Island Field.  So things are heating up.
