I have no way of knowing. It was just another opinion like so many here. I am just the transportation vehicle and it is not my input.

Meanwhile, here is another from the same "source":

As for the pressure required - you are right since there is no drilling fluid in the annulus right now it is easire for the reservoir fluid to come to surface.

What you have to remember is the pressure in the tremblor was higher
that what was anticipated based on the surrounding wells in the tremblor ( good fault seal) much higher that the hydrostatic pressure of the 18000 ft of drilling fluid. Also there has not been a significate pressure decrease because if ther was the well would be under control by now - but that doesn't matter anyhow because the 17 ft of sand that has been drilled up already is not likely the target of the well anyhow remenber this is a 1000ft turbidite (submarine gravity flow) deposit and will likely have multiple zones of porous and permeable sandtone.<>
