PB#2: Current Depth: 11175' Formation: Chimney RockGas shows:...

PB#2:
Current Depth: 11175'
Formation: Chimney Rock
Gas shows: 459 units from 11152'-11162' from a 10ft SST interval with good porosity.
ROP: 8'/hr

Lower Ismay came in at 10560'
Gas shows: 132 units (connection gas 917u)

Next formation at: Barker Creek at 12360'

Overall More SSt at PB#2 then at PB#1, so gas shows have been better.

My comments :

As mentioned in my post last week, gas units on report will b lower as they've increased Mud Weight. This is std. procedure, to keep the well under control from taking a gas/water kick.

Gas-show reporting is std protocol whilst drilling.

If the gas ain't coming from the formation, then one needs a very fertile imagination to create such numbers.

BTW, gas is recorded real time, so everytime they hit a SST interval, its termed as a drill-break & a corresponding gas peak is recorded on the Chromatograph after 30-40 min of lagtime for the gas to come to surface from 11175'. This gas is also broken down into C1, C2 etc.

All this info is recorded by the mudlogging personnel deployed for realtime data collection by the Operator.
