I think I misunderstood your questions in my first response and gave an incomplete answer. The problems we encountered while drilling the Mesa 26 State No. 1 that prevented us from conducting drill stem test are now behind casing, the 8 5/8" intermediate casing string. Out of sight and out of mind, so to speak. These problems are definitely cased off and are no longer problems. They will not hinder our completion attempts.

No, it is not difficult to produce such a problem well. We will test the upper zones behind the 8 5/8" intermediate string. We then plan to drill out all cement plugs, and run and cement 5 1/2" production casing to near the bottom of the hole. Afterwards, we will drill out the rest of the cement plug, dropping the bit into open hole, and then deepen the hole to firm, solid igneous rock. We still don't know how deep the granite wash zone is. Some operators have reported granite wash thicknesses of more than 100 feet. That would certainly be a nice surprise!
