Ann: Block 9, Alameda-3 Appraisal Update, page-351

I would have thought that to flow test Alameda you would need to plug off Marti and then if Alameda flows there is no way to return to Marti without interfering and interferance from Alameda, so if any corrective procedure was to be attempted it would need to be done now. Thus any acid or other flow inducement is a matter for future wells?. Any sidetrack would only be viable if Alameda also failed? My experience with drilling a water well is that slotted liners block easily so perhaps it comes down to a poor choice?. Moving on to Alameda one hopes that whatever the cause forMarti not flowing, it is not repeated.
