They started hauling the rig onto the location Friday and didn't have the derrick up on sunday afternoon
This is a small rig and I don't see them drilling the Horizontal part of the well with this Rig. For those who don't know the location is just over the south line of section ten off Beard Creek Road and the well is permitted under section 15 to the south of the location.
Thanks for the photos....not being able to drive to the well site because I live out of the State, I appreciate you taking the time to keep us updated. I know some of the land owners in this section and we really do appreciate your help!
Here is what is going on at 1:30. I am surprised at the progress, we had some pretty rank thunderstorms Mon and Tues afternoon. Ringgold Redskin was right about the size. This one makes the first one look like a tinker toy.
I was there on Thursday about 1:20. To the untrained eye, I could not see as much progress as the Wed. look. One of the hands on the ground said "we are getting close" whatever that means.
Ringgold Redskin,
The question is did HK file to "amend" the permit on this well. If you are just looking @ Sonris Lite then you wouldn't see any permits, but you would see a change in the location - If that had changed, but it is still the same(bottom hole location 15). I looked in the DNR's IDM Image Services Library and it's not there either. Now I will not say that it isn't sitting on someone's desk in the Department of Conservation. BUT I will say that HK had better not drill in section 10 before the amended permit. That is a no no. Now IF they did change their plans that might be a good thing. Meaning that they couldn't deal with not having all the section leased up. But I will stick my neck out and call what you heard @ the cafe a rumor. No different than when a well is good to say different......

Does anyone know how much lateral has been drilled, do they case the curve or drill the curve and lateral and then run casing. Everyone have a great weekend.
