north yolumne spud, page-12

certainly drilling north yowlumne in good pace. again from the memory bank (yorick may be able to back me up ) i remember there were drill hole problems where they had to reverse up & re-drill from around 8000 feet. that did waste a couple of weeks. this time around they seem to have an experienced bunch of drillers. no problems being encountered with the horizontal well drilling at san ardo. last year another co. : VPE wasted around 5 months redrilling a horizontal well at eagle north. in the end they abandonned the well. the co. pointed the finger at inexperienced drillers as the reason for the stuff up.
