Drilling Reports
Dictated by Michael Anaradian from the field
01 June 2006
| 9pm | Drilled 12-1/4” hole to 563'. RIH with 8-5/8”, 24#, J55 surface casing |
02 June 2006
| 6am | Rig Up Halliburton. Cemented in 8-5/8” casing, 563' to surface |
| 7:30am | Waiting on cement to dry. Installing BOPE |
* After DOG approves BOPE inspection, we should be able to drill ahead with 6-3/4” bit
03 June 2006
| 6am | Drilled ahead 6-3/4” bit 1300' |
04 June 2006
| 6am | Drilled to 2801', mud weight 110# per gallon. Bit #2, pulled Out of Hole and wiped poles to surface casing, pull bit and replace with diamond bit “PDC”. Back on bottom drilling @ 1:30am |
05 June 2006
| 6am | Drilled to 4046' |
| 6:45am | Our geologist projected the Top of the Hooper Sand at 4075'; No gas show. Hit Top of the Hooper Sand at 4130'-4170'; No gas show on mud log |
| 11:10am | Drilling ahead at 4511' |
| 7:30pm | While drilling between 4890' – 4950', we encountered a 200 unit mud log Show of gas in the Unit Sand and the Main Winters Sand. |
| 10pm | Decided to drill ahead to 5590' in the Main Winters Sand, on through the Main Winters Sand and to the Top of the Sacramento Shale to see if we can encounter more gas sand |
* Mud logs are not 100% conclusive, but this is very encouraging. We are waiting on Halliburton Wireline Services to show up c. 7pm June 6, 2006, as they are backlogged on their work
06 June 2006
| 10pm | Ran Halliburton Wireline Service E-log and Sonic Logs. We found 34 net feet of natural gas sand. These were mostly spread throughout the bottom of the well. CONGRATULATIONS!! We have a gas well. |
07 June 2006
| 2pm | Running 4-1/2” casing |
07 June 2006
With Halliburton Cementing Services, we have cemented the 4-1/2-inch casing. This is done by pumping the cement down the center of the casing followed by a rubber plug being pumped down with water. This then forces the cement out the bottom of the casing and up and around the outside of the casing so it is cemented to the earth. The well is now “behind pipe”. We then installed the wellhead on top of the casing, cleaned out the mud pits, and released the rig. Next week, we will run a Cement Bond Log, a Neutron Log, and a Collar Locator Log. Approximately a week after that, we will get a work-over rig to run tubing into the well and install the rest of the wellhead, which is known as a Christmas Tree. After that, Halliburton will be brought back out with a wireline truck to perforate the deepest gas sand and flow-test it. We will then be able to start installing the pipeline, gas production equipment, and meter. In all, this should take a month or two before gas sales begin. |
21 June 2006
| 2pm | We perforated the Bell #2 well at 5,423 to 5,425 feet, four 3/8 inch holes per foot. The well was then flow tested for two hours and stabilized at 2,090psi (pounds per square inch) with flowing tube pressure through a 12/64-inch choke ‘hole’. This equates to 1,700MCF a day or 17,000,000 cubic feet of gas per day. The casing pressure was 2,150psi on the tubing and 2,130 on the casing. The gas is 995 BTU’s (British Thermal Units) per cubic foot. |

| 2pm | We are aware that many of you have recently received a package for Completion Unit (s) in the Bell #2 Project. We are sold out all of the available Completion Units. We value your loyalty and interest in our company We do have another project that is very much like a completion project. It is called The Dyer Creek Oil Field. In this project we are going to re-drill and re-complete 3 old oil wells with modern day completion technology. In this case, we know the oil is there. That has been proven in the past. It’s just a matter of how much oil we can produce using modern day technology. |
