ELH Update for BKP#2 and BKP#3 ---

Further to my report two days ago there continues to be a delay at BKP#2 as a result of a lack of progress milling through the baker bridge plug. To resolve this, the operator has decided to cement and then drill around the plug. Drilling is expected to resume on Saturday.

At BKP#3 they are taking sidewall cores.

I pray that we don’t have to upgrade the RO3 rule to RO4!!

My message from Tuesday follows this message.

GOOD HEALTH to all drilling crew,
REGARDS and prosperity to all longs,

BKP#2: The delay here has been due to a problem drilling through the baker bridge plug which was set to permit the blow out preventer to be repaired. They drilled through most of it but found the bottom portion started to rotate with the drill bit. They have been milling through the remainder and should be back drilling shortly.

Depth is 17,042 feet. The Temblor sands are expected to be encountered at around 17,400 feet. Which means the drill could reach them within a couple of days.

BKP#3: They have decided to set 9 7/8" casing from 9,000 feet to the current depth of 14,112 feet. Thus there will likely be a delay (two weeks?) before drilling recommences. The Temblor target sands are expected to be encountered at 15,000 feet.
