Evening Dave. Wow, it's amazing how this site comes alive when things begin to unfold!!! ...responding to your post of waaaay back 7 whole hours ago!!! Dave, I misled you, and apologise. When perforating, bullets are used, which are similar to firearm shells. Yes, they are explosive devices, albeit very small ones. I got the impression you were thinking that they were going to use dynamite as a means of collapsing the area downhole, which of course would be a ridiculous idea to anyone in the O&G business, but possibly not to the average Joe. That is the idea I was trying to correct. Anyway, there you go. You were right. Regarding the sequence of events - as a geologist I sit wells during the drilling phase, and have never seen a well snuffed out in this fashion. If anyone has a clue about the events required to kill this well, I would also be very interested to hear about it. I have an idea, but don't want to comment for fear of being totally wrong. This won't benefit us one iota, as investors, but would be interesting to learn about. Have a good night/morning. Rick.
