"A significant gas influx was intersected while drilling at 2867m MDRT. Analysis of seismic data places this intersection just above the prognoses reservoir target."

"the Lempuyang-1 well has been monitored for the past few days to ensure well stability. This follows the gas influx at 2867m MDRT as reported on 27 August 2010."

My understanding is that perhaps because of the strong gas flow, they cannot continue to drill, have to take some action to stablize the well condition for further drilling. But looks like the SP doesnot support my view.

Can someone who has the energy industry knowledge give us some ideas? Thanks in advance.

Any comment welcome.
