Buddy... i is no guru on this... but...

Have a look at the diagram on page 41 of the following article.

NOTE: Shaker is first point after mud exits drill hole.

To sum up...

I am just having a wild stab at it.... that despite some seriously heavy drill-mud.... significant shows of pressurized oil from the "reservoir" managed to enter the well bore while drilling.

Shaker screen pic... I assume.... pictures not just mud/fluid traveling across it... but oil.... and quite a bit of it.... assuming they are using a water based fluid.


Am surprised this pic has not been discussed more.... SP seems primary concern?

Shoot me down... I'm gonna hold.

I reckon LAR got good oil flows news next week.

Gotta go chief... Friday night awaits.

Looking forward to any feedback on my primitive assumptions.
