You both are right!
JCanada was correct with his explanations, logging is (almost always) done coming up. You can log down, but the tool string has a tendency to get stuck. You can't push but you can pull. Tools such as gamma ray and neutron don't need to touch the borehole walls to get a reading so they sort of work going down and you can generally tell about gas and formation thickness. The curves you see going down are not on depth with each other, so it can be a little tricky doing interpretation.
Does May 2010 drilling refer to Block 1 or the other blocks?
Jorge Santos, President of ADC, said recently that the lack of Chevron's results can mean the success of the work in contiguous block 2, due to a "vertical" at the bottom of the sea. "On the one hand Chevron only made a hole, which was not within the expectations of them. On the other hand it does not have bored in the right place. Between the block 1 and 2 there is a certain vertical, suggested that perhaps the whole expectation that has formed the first block [to] is in the second ".
Could this mean that they found a fault (vertical) that prevented hydrocarbons from migrating from Block 2 updip into Block 1?
If so, they need to be getting a rig to that fault line...

You sound certain.
That purchase was before AKPO was producing, correct? Is your double based on current production?
Would ERHE be worth 20% of the field's worth?
Obvious Question:
If ERHC has an AKPO like field, how much is it worth?

The farther you drill into a gas cap, the faster you can extract that gas.
No. Logging tools have a very short range. They COULD do something with downhole seismic. They put a seismic tool down in the formation and record blast waves.
I really don't think they would stop before getting below the gas. Just trying to speculate why they possibly would.
Just speculating on why drilling would be stopped before getting below the gas to see if there is oil below it.
There is a tool called a diplog which would tell the slope of a formation.
Not sure I'm following...Is cementing a reason to stop mid-formation? Do you disagree about possible blowouts?
They wouldn't stop drilling mid-formation to save a few bucks. If they did IMO it was for safety reasons (blowout danger) Still, if the DW Pathfinder couldn't handle it, what could? Remember that logging requires about 100' of rathole.
Disclaimer: not a drilling expert & never logged offshore.
I can't imagine stopping drilling in the middle of a productive zone. Never saw it, never heard of it.

APRIL FOOLS!!!
Not necessarily.
Flow tests can be run on new wells. It's just not among the wireline logging suite of tests.
The above should in no way be construed as a defense of Oily. (LOL)
No flow test with wireline logging.
The closest wireline logging comes to flow testing is the formation tester tool.
We don't know if this tool was run or not yet:

I'm sorry to see posters attack Fishdog.
Think it over...He tried to break bad news gently and balance it with good news on Block 4. The company PR is what scared people.
I'm grateful to Mr. Dog and hope he can ignore the haters and will continue to provide TRUE (good or bad)info.
Couldn't blame him if he didn't though.

I never doubted that hydrocarbons would be discovered in every single JDZ well. What worried me was if they would exist in commercial quantities.
It seems to me that a Chinese company would be more likely than a U.S. company (or any other co. answerable to stockholders) to develop a marginal field, if only as a strategic reserve. Of course SNP is at least quasi-private co, but it seems at least partially at the bidding of Chinese national interests.
This leaves me a bit more optimistic about our prospects.
Indicators of oil:
1)Monitoring drilling mud for pressure and oil/gas presence.
2)MWD (measurement w/drilling) tools.
3)Wireline logging after drilling.
4)Drillstem testing
5)Core sampling
Yes, it is referred to as crossover. The CN shows 2-5% increased porosity relative to the CDL log. It is even shaded on some logs.
All logs in my experience are confidential and limited to the producing oil co and its principle investors. The logging co keeps a few copies on file for use in offset wells unless it is tight-holed; then the oil co often confiscates even the logging trucks trash!
IMO anyone who has seen the OBO-1 logs 'knows someone'.
I used to be an Open Hole Logging Engineer for Dresser Atlas (now Baker Hughes). A gas cap stands out on a log as a porosity difference between the neutron and density tools, easy to spot.
The oil/water contact can usually be determined by a resistivity tool such as dual induction. Oil being an insulator and salt water a conductor.

Maybe he was just refering to 10 and 30 instead of 10 thru 30.
My bad.
Guess so.
Hey, I just like puzzles!
1 Corinthians 12:16-30
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
But now they are many members, but one body.
And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:
and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;
whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked;
that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
1 Corithians 12:10-15
and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:
but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
For the body is not one member, but many.
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body
I KNOW!!! I KNOW!!!
OBO-2 is 4/7 of the way to planned Total Depth (TD) of 11800 ft.
They have thus far encountered two pay zones.
Pretty good for 3am...

oilphant - Yellow is good, that's the Color of sweet crude, but, Blue, U mean the Blue Line, Not Offside, but Onside ?? and going to test further with DWD = Down with the Drill, with the Drillship, Deepwater Discovery ??
Give us One More Riddle.....

Maybe he means,
We are the yellow (crude) they hit blue (gas) next well being drilled dwd?????
New poster.
I've been around for years but have never posted on this board. First learned about ERHE on the old Yahoo PGO board. I remember Platina and Mr.Crazy (IAintDrunk), and BSK were regular posters there too.
I have an idea that the clue:
rig(dwd) = jdz
means that the Deepwater Discovery is still in the JDZ.
Mr. Oilphant referenced correct answers to the rest of his puzzle, but not this part.
My PGO investment is up about 1000% from the dark days of bankrupcy. May this investment prove as profitable for all of us ERHE mushrooms (kept in the dark and fed bull&*#*)
