RE:RE:RE:RE:now i hopeFrank, Yeah that was the Eagle1 well and it was an American rig, the Saratoga. If you're referring to Jaguar 1 well of which cgx had 25% interest rig was another Amerucan rig the Atwood Beacon. I worked on it in the Bay of Bengal and offshore Suriname.
There was no extreme pressure at Eagke1. What there experienced is a pressure inversion. The pore pressure normally increases with depth. If the pore pressure is abnormally high then it requires sn increase in the mud weight. Then when the pore pressure drops (an inverdiln) the hydrostatic head of the mud fluid column is too high and you lose fluid to tye formation which reduces the hydrostatic head allowing formation fluids to enter the wellbore (kick).
But CGX designed their well at Eagle1 such that they prevented a repeat of what happened at Shell Arbary. They achueved the same success at Kawa and Wei. They talked about this in their May 2022 webinar. Kevin Lacey and Regan Palgrove explsined why theses pressure inversions occur and why they don't occur in Stabroek. Kind of complucated so I'll defer to the experts on that.
Anyway, I think that these inversions may be playing a role in the completions design. Maybe that's the hang up. I don't know. Just guessing. Agsin I'll defer to the experts.
