From TheSheik on StockHouse "Just got back from Bakersfield. Got shooed off the Bellvue#1r site by workers. Couldn't get any info from them obviously. Went up the dirt road to Berkely - luckily the guys over there were more friendly. Chatted with a couple of them for about a half hour (one claimed that he was the site supervisor - the other claimed he was supervisor at the other rig at one time.) In a nutshell - they are at about 2,500 feet at BK#1 with things going well. At Bellvue, they are still trying to run a liner down. Couild not get much more out of them, except that they don't think much of geologists. "

At Cal Canal on Sunday morning they were doing some seismic testing with "thumper" trucks on the surface and receiving instruments down hole. Will this give any better clue as to success of this well or just better info on the location of the temblor? What else might they learn from this procedure? It appears they are using every tool at their disposal to do this job right. ELH R1 had difficulty running the liner to TD and only were successful at getting 10'+-? or so into the zone. I believe they are going to try again to place it to TD. Is it necessary to have a liner in the production part of the hole and can they test without it? I guess this could delay testing except they seem to have time to remedy the situation with the time it takes to get the permits. As you say ZZZZZZZ.... PS Those rig hands on ELH R1 are still working 8hr shifts!!
