one foot in the grave

It has been a great week. Slow as usual but a great week by any measure. Monday's announcement of a hdrocarbon zone in the Jurassic was a complete surprise. But at the time not a lot of importance was placed on it by the company.
The weekly update was even slower than usual, 106 metres for the week. But that was the calm before the storm. BANG and another report. This was a completely offside pleasant surprise. 12 metres of oil according to the wireline loggs.
Fantastic.
SP and turnover zoomed and it was great fun.
Now back to reality. 142 metres to go before the hopefully oil filled middle Triassic, and some of these should be already drilled when you read this.
But how long to the end of the hole. Luckily we have done a couple of months training at waiting during this drilling because it looks like at least 17 days before the end of drilling and taking electric wireline loggs. Then a few more days for the results of the loggs. Lol and then the testing etc. and thus my title of the post.
Next week could be the intersecting of the oily zone of interest, and then, lol, they will cut a 18 metre core sample, think 3 days lol, drill the next 45 metres ( think 2 days) ... ...

May the patient be well rewarded

good luck all
