KyOil, thank you so much. I just spoke with my son, who works for Oxy Petroleum and recently moved to Houston from Midland TX after 2 yrs there. I had him read the ZN updates and in his limited experience as a UT O&G engineer (top of his class), he was blown away by the gas pressure and feels that the well would have great oil flow for at least 2 months. After that, stimulation might be needed. Of course he would love to see the data. His only concern was the ratio of gas to oil, and that the temp of 162 C might cause a higher amount of gas. He saw the oil mixed with the drilling mud as a very positive sign, and liked the geology too.

KyOil, that BOP stack: Can it be moved to be used on the production wells on the pad? I hate to see $2.5M spent on another monster shipped by slow boat from Norway.

Ky, do you think that the downhole pressure forced them to keep reducing pipe size also with forward thinking here, will they be able to over come this to get that desired 7" bottom? Will they need a bigger rig than the one they had for MJ1; although I'm not saying that rig size was even an issue at all because it completed the mission to TD, but I think going forward, am I?? Help ;)

Other issues?? Any additional issues when drilling horizontal given existing condions?? Help
