whats the verdict???, page-4

I go the other way Wdp.

Well estimated drill time plus logging and evaluation was 20 days.
Imo they should be able to drill through to TD in the 8-1/2" hole section in anywhere from 14 to 16 days from spud, with no mishaps...ie, lost circulation or well control issues (wellbore kicks).

Spud was 1600hrs 17/2.
14 days = 1600 hrs Mon 3/3
16 days = 1600hrs Wed 5/3

Assuming nothing went amiss, let's remember that they have multiple payzones (4 from memory - pretty pics) to run the logs over and collect data.

If no preliminary indications were received via the cuttings while drilling through the prognosed reservoir formation to TD, we'll hear fairly soon that it was a dry hole.

The longer we wait for news, we've either had an issue in the wellbore which has held progress up, or there's been preliminary indications of hydrocarbon or gas presence, and logging the various zones will take time.

I threw gas in there because if you read Lundins estimate for this well, they state PR of 47 mmboe (oil equivalent).

IMO of course, and as stated previously, pretty hard without daily reports of progress.
