RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:drillingSporty, Yes you're right. They eliminated one string. They've also planned for two continguency strings. I just looked at the presentation again. Slide 13 of the presentation: Achieve Kawa-1 equivalent of 11-3/4 liner with Wei-1 14 casing string casing off Kawa-1 Campanian challenging section and avoid slow deep underreaming operations 2 contingency strings (11-7/8 and 9-5/8 ) available to reach main objectives in last hole section
So I guess that the time savings will come from not having to underream the Campanian which they call challenging. I wonder what happened at Kawa? They want to get the Campanian behind 14" casing quickly. They don't want it exposed to open hole for too long. Overpressured shale stringers maybe? Anyway maybe they can knock a few weeks off of the drilling curve by getting behind casing what maybe gave them grief on Kawa. Who knows? No info like you say.
