Hammamet West-3 – Drilling Update 7

Only maybe 820 m? to Abiod Formations - if all goes well with repair of top drive system(sounds like pulley replacements?)
then they should be drilling soon once again.
This could mean that they could be in Abiod NEXT weekend (25-26th May) if all goes well. Could get some serious news therabouts and well fingers crossed.

From the updateCurrent activity: At 1:00 pm WST (6:00 am Tunisia) on Tuesday May 14 the well was on standby awaiting repairs to the top drive system on the drilling rig. The Current depth is 2,182 mRT.

Progress since last report: - Since the last report issued on 8 May the 12 1/4” hole section was drilled from 1,551 to 2,120 mRT where the drillstring was pulled out of hole for a bit change. Drilling resumed from 2,120 to 2,182 mRT. The bit was then pulled back into the 13 3/8” casing while waiting for repairs to the top drive system.

Planned Activities: - Forecast operations are: repair top drive system then resume drilling and building hole angle in the 12 1/4” hole section to the Top Abiod Formation at approximately 3,000 mRT."

Hope smooth sailing down to Top of Abiod and well that 190m column of OIL or be it 500 metres of HORIZONTAL OIL bearing.

Yes certainly HORIZONTAL wells have change the fate of many companies that at times were on the brink.
