diana g., 25,000 feet deep is a damn deep well! There are tremendous pressure and temperature issues at that depth. Next Nabors is an excellent drilling company and I work with them all of the time- but still it is difficult to maintain a straight borehole for five miles straight downward through various rock formations some of which may bulge and shift and catch drill pipe. Or was this well deviated or is it even a horizontal completion? Drill pipe getting stuck in the hole is a very common problem. it could esaily be the drillers as much as any suppliers' fault.... The remedy though is pretty simple- drill another well. Move over a couple of hundred yards and respud the well. That would cost $2-3mm my guess dow to that deep, deep depth. If there is truly 1100 feet of pay in the well 200 yard won't make a difference, unless you cross a vertical fault line.... Acadiana- good interpretation- and a very pretty Town Lafayette is! Morituri te salutamus, Doug F. Sincerely, Doug F.
