When considering the future of the oil and gas industry beyond 2024, it is crucial to address the often-misguided use of the term "pollutant" in reference to carbon dioxide (CO2). While CO2 is frequently categorized as a "greenhouse gas," this label can be misleading without proper context. CO2 plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems; it is essential for the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, thereby sustaining plant life and, by extension, animal life, including humans. Moreover, CO2 is a natural byproduct of Moreover, CO2 is a natural byproduct of respiration in mammals. Every time we exhale, we release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, underscoring its inherent role in the respiratory cycle. Thus, describing CO2 simply as a pollutant overlooks its fundamental contributions to life on Earth. As we engage in discussions about environmental policies and regulations, particularly in regions like California, it is imperative to present these facts to government officials and policymakers. An informed dialogue that recognizes the importance of CO2 can lead to a more balanced understanding of its role in both natural processes and the broader context of climate science. Advocating for a nuanced perspective on CO2 is essential to avoid oversimplification and to promote responsible energy practices that ensure both environmental sustainability and economic viability.

The Eagle has landed! Reached a TD (“Total Depth”) of 15,712’ MD at 1:15 am MST

 Hello Everyone!

 

This morning, Friday, November 29, 2024, 6:00 am MST. The Eagle has landed!

Reached a TD (“Total Depth”) of 15,712’ MD at 1:15 am MST this morning (made 376’ in 7½ hours at a P rate of 50 fph).
We found a geological marker below the bottom of the Shannon 5 sand and called it good!
We had a gas flare and gas-cut mud all the way through the Shannon 5.
For whatever reason, this was different (in a good way) from the original hole and the sidetrack.
 
Current plans are:
  1. Circulate and condition mud to log
  1. POOH and run open hole logs.
 
Should be logging some time tonight.
 
Today is video day!
We had a lot going on yesterday. Here are five videos

2024 11 28 Thanksgiving on Rig 88



 

Lot’s to be thankful and grateful for here. Everyone really appreciated the meal. 
One of the hands in the video remarked,
“I have not been home for Thanksgiving for the past 10 years. This is the best gathering and food I’ve had! Thank you, Lost Soldier!”

2024 11 28 Rig 88 Gas Flare Trip Gas Shannon 2 & 3 Duane Winkler



 

Duane and Jacek both took videos of the bottoms up trip gas after we got back to the bottom.
This shows that there is “burnable” gas in the Shannon 2 and 3 sands! Both videos are good!

2024 11 29 Drilling the Shannon 5 !!



 

We had a slow, steady flare yesterday while drilling the entire Shannon 5 section.
Though not as impressive as the big flares from the previous videos, the Shannon 5 flare lasted for a steady 3 to 4 hours!
This is good! The trip gas flares only lasted 15 to 20 minutes.
 
A few days ago, we also had an unexpected visitor to the rig floor (see attachments).
This guy had made it up all 50+ steps to the doghouse on the floor.
He definitely surprised everyone!
