Ann: Mukuyu-2 fluid sampling progress update, page-1961

"He was of the opinion SM was desperate to call the discovery at the expense of the well condition. "

To date there have been no indications of wellbore stability issues. If the same stability issues that plagued us in M1 were in play we would have seen issues during the first couple of wireline runs and during the wiper trip prior to the start of MDT operations.

If the hole is behaving and TLC is mitigating the differential sticking issues then I see no reason to pack up and run away from that operation.

Drilling Engineers...they care about the condition of the hole but sometimes they get overly nervous about stuff that they imagine is going to happen. I've had more than one Drilling Engineer giving me a hard time about wanting to run an MDT in a hole that is behaving perfectly. They're adamant that because they saw an MDT get stuck one time that every MDT operation is going to end in a fishing job.
