june 7 drilling report

Dean-1
At 06:00 today, the Dean-1 well was at a depth of 1428m and conditioning the hole prior to running
intermediate wireline logs. Over the next few days the well will be reamed to open the hole to
12-1/4” after which 9-5/8” intermediate casing will be installed.

So, they have not announced that there is commercial quanities of gas. I don't know enough about gas exploration to know if it is normal to install BOP, and intermediate casings on a well unless you are confident there are commercial quantities. If not this is getting to be an expensive well.

Would someone who has been in the game a while like to share their thoughts? I'd appreciate it.
