Drilling around a piece of stuck pipe adds even more risks and uncertainties, and makes the odds against any success even higher and, thus, more remote.
I'm sorry this isn't going according to your pre-conceived notions of what "ought" to be happening, but this is all part of the high-risk casino called The Oil Patch.
I hope their drill-around is successful as much as you do. But right now, all there is... is "hope".
p.s.
excoriate away.
Withhold your membership $$$$s and refrain from patronising iHub advertisers until the management of this REDOLENT CESSPOOL finally *DOES* SOMETHING to CLEAN IT UP!
