re: what have we so far, we have sands Hi Folk.

Good news certainly!

The fluid is almost definitely oil. A 27 barrel kick of gas at that depth would have caused all sorts of problems. If oil, the kick would indicate a significant oil column and good quality sands.

As for the cores, it is probably sidewall cores - used to get a quick fix on the quality of the sands and the age of the rocks when shales/clays are cored.

Cheers,
