it's time for a very big shake up at nido, page-5

Seamfiend,

I find your post naieve in the extreme.

Mistakes?

1. Failing to isolate the aquifer at well TD when they drilled T1 with a balanced cement plug. It's pretty difficult to get these wrong by following basic oilfield practice.

2. Second bite of the cherry, failing to do a proper cement job on the liner.

3. Taking double normal industry accepted practice times to perform completion activities on T1 (in fact any Well Engineering at all)

4. Going for the last possible choice in Welltest kit provider then no surprise the kit didn't work properly.

5. Trying a 'cheapie' workover that didn't work, that they are no looking like repeating. Why don't they sidetrack from the 9 5/8" far greater chance of success, minnimal extra cost.

do you want me to go on?

I was out but got back in again on news of the farmout, thank God I dumped the lot a couple of days ago.

Ultimately this will come good but only because of Gindarra, as I have said all along, full marks to the folks who had the foresight to pick up the acreage, zero marks to the Well Engineering Department, they are destroying this company.

cheers,

Oilman
