Water is saline. Here's an email I got from BoB Christie Dear Russ, The water is saline, but from whence it is coming isn't known. There are two possibilities: an above-reservoir overpressurized water zone, whereby the water is entering the bore through damaged casing, or an underlying water layer in the oil/gas reservoir itself. Neither bodes ill for the potential for oil and gas in significant quantities, I understand. It is very common for a blowing well to eventually "cone" water from lower in an oil/gas reservoir, so this in itself isn't a bad sign. It is simply way too early to determine the size of this reservoir in any factual manner. It will take the new (relief) well's completion and production test to find out. I doubt if a water sample would shed any light on that, the big question. Regards, Bob Christie Reporter - oil/energy/utilities The Bakersfield Californian
