Ann: Mukuyu-2 Drilling Update, page-109

Comments after a quick read of the ASX release:

Pretty much carbon copy PA in terms of LWD response and mud losses. There's permeability there but is it fracturing or intergranular? The losses raise some concern as to whether mud weight is still high side.

Gas peaks and increased heavies is a positive.

Bit change and LWD servicing will add a day to the drilling curve. LWD tools are either powered by a turbine/generator on the MWD or by lithium batteries. Turbine powered tools will sometimes also have an on board battery so tool can operate while turbine is not operating (eg during trips).

At av ROPs of 15-20m/hr we should be at prognosed TD in around 3-4 days.
