"kick" at 3,741 metres ; target 3,965m, page-2

tealady talk - tevet oil The kick was impressive.

The drilling mud wasn't heavy enough to hold the pressure.

The oil/gas mixture blew the mud back up the casing so fast that the blow out preventers had to grab the drill string real tight.

Well, of course it was oil/gas.

If it was water we wouldn't go to all the expense of sidetracking back in now, would we?
