Drilling Schedule

[petrengr1]

Getit- I guess we should stick with what Hession told us when it comes to expected timing of news: "Now the first well actually, Wahoo, is a little bit shallower, so we expect to get the news flow towards at the end of the month or early May on Wahoo. And then I just assume 90 days from spud on Bobcat and Raptor." Actually I hope he will relent on his statement about Bobcat and Raptor if they are found to be gas bearing reservoirs. I doubt that he can keep that secret even if he wanted to. I think we should reach the top of the reservoir in less than 90 days. The original statement was that it should take 90 days to drill these wells.

Pet -

I recall his statement actually was that it would take 90 days to drill and test those wells.  That should get us down to TD weeks earlier with initial information on HCs and reservoir height, shouldn't it?

I think we should find the top of the limestone reservoir in less than 90 days but it may take the full 90 days to determine the gas column thickness (height) if there is actually gas present. This will require drilling through the reservoir, logging, coring and testing. If they find gas I believe the new plan will be to run and cement 7" pipe to TD and do the testing inside pipe.
