Nothing to do with NOP on the face of it. But it does show the possibilities that come with re-drilling (which most of NOP's well's will be in 2003) using modern techniques and possibly slightly different targets.

12/23/2002 - OGI: Perth) Mosaic Oil and its JV partner, Santos, have struck gas with the re-drilling of the Churchie 1A site in southeast Queensland, Australia. Mosaic said today that gas flowed at 5.6 million cf/d through a one-inch choke with a surface flowing pressure of 200 psi over the nitrogen-drilled interval 2082 to 2134 metres.
Using nitrogen drilling techniques, Churchie-1A flowed up to 400% more than its namesake Churchie-1, drilled just 200 meters away with traditional mud drilling methods (a flow of 1.3 million cf/d in 2001).

Anyway MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
