RE:RE:RE:DisillusionedSparky5868, Well in one of the past NRs they mentioned that they would log the well at TD which I and others found odd. Why not log the open hole interval before running casing which is the usual practice.
Because they couldn't? Why not? The answer to that question could be many reasons. So lack of information made me wary. I lent towards the reason that they couldn't was because they drilled into a massive coral reef with vuggy porosity and high pressure kicking at them all of the time while simultaneously taking mud aka losing mud or losing circulation.
Ok so that's a good thing if it's hydrocarbons. So I reckoned that when they healed the mud losses and killed the well, they drilled a bit deeper to find a competent formation to set the casing shoe. Wanting to get the trouble zone behind casing ASAP they didn't log. Ok I'm good with that. Makes sense if my speculation above is true. If it is true, then they may have a great well there. But we don't know. It's this uncertainty that is spooking people.
