KyOil; In response to your statement:

If high gas pressure was not found, why would they stop drilling just when entering the formation they've been trying so hard to get to, change their casing plan

They could have ran casing for a variety of reasons...

1) Sloughing Shale
2) Low Pressures / Lost Circulation

I'm going with Sloughing Shales as being the issue because ZN's press release states the following:

1) They had drilled through a "Material Section of Shale"
2) They decided to run casing to ensure well-bore integrity - which also points to Sloughing Shale...
