I am not Rick but I have a friend who works with Hibernia....You know they are drilling the big oil field offshore Newfoundland. He is an engineer and wrote the 'how to operate' manual for the $6 billion rig. What he tells me applies to the technology being use in the drill rig offshore so I can't be certain it is the same as on land but... off shore they can drill a hole so accurately that if they put the drill down in my living room they could make the drill bit come up in my friends kitchen sink. Now I took his comment to be fairly accurate though the analogy was obviously a simple one. He is living about 5 km from me. Amazing! Highly sophisticated and state of the art technology. If they are up to date, hitting the well bore won't be a problem.
