Drilling to the next planned core point is now underway. This will initiate the collection of a second and final core. This second core will be taken in the deepest zone which spans over 800 gross feet. Once this is collected, drilling will proceed to a TD of 15,450 feet measured depth. At this stage a comprehensive logging and sampling programme will beundertaken.
The results of the core analysis and the logging programme in the deeper
zone in this sidetrack should determine whether this deeper zone is
commercial or not.
Why all this secondary drilling? Once you've drilled the whole once surely you case/perforate and test? Can anyone explain?
