Ann: Alameda-1 Drilling Update, page-366

Nah correct. Feral54 post talks about a slotted casing in the I section being hard to plug. Announcement 17/3/22 says, ‘ once the logging suite is completed the current intention is to prepare a slotted liner to secure section. I agree with you that at the moment the section is an open hole and not lined and their current intention may change.
Your reply that the slotted liner is in the middle section, incorrect. Announcements on 7/2/22 and 16/2/22 about the middle section talk about setting a 7 inch liner. No mention of a slotted liner!
