rayburn update, page-8

In the drilling permit application - the so called "W-1 filing" - for Gilbert-Freman #3 the operator defined explicitly 3 different "fields" as targets for this well:

W-1 filling for GF3

1. CYPRESS EAGLE (WILCOX) - Primary Field - completion depth 12,700 feet
2. EGYPT (COOK MTN. 8300) - completion depth 8,350 feet
3. BERNARD, W. (COOK MT. 7800) - completion depth 7,850 feet

Last week they drilled the section of the latter

They run wireline logs over the interval in question - so they should know if there is gas and something about the reservoir quality

That they set a liner and not a casing could be a hint, that they plan to take this section in production in the future (but can also mean that they simply like to reduce completion costs).

re "liner" Schlumberger Glossary



... perhaps we get the results to this shallower targets next week - Imho this section at GF3 is important to understand the presence of the Cook Mnt. Fmt. at Rayburn
