2024 12 07 Rotary Sidewall Coring (Part 1)
Good Morning Everyone!
Today is Saturday, December 7, 2024, 6:00 am MST. At report time, we are running in the hole with 4½” OD production casing.
Bottom of the casing shoe is currently at 2,126’.
Yesterday, on bottom at 15,712’ MD, we circulated and conditioned mud, then spent the rest of the day (and night) POOH LDDP (“Pull Out Of Hole Lay Down Drill Pipeline").
It took 20 hours to POOH laying down 3.0 miles of drill pipe, 30’ at a time.
Today, will spend most of the day (and night) running casing and circulating/conditioning mud at staged intervals.
Current plans are:- Run 4½” production casing
- Cement
- RDMO Rig 88 to Jeffrey City yard.
The list is getting shorter
Today’s video topic focuses on the rotary sidewall coring logging tools that were run in the hole (Part 1).
We ran the tool hoping to recover the maximum 75 cores, however; the core barrel jammed after core #45.
Decision was made to forego remaining 30 cores for the sake of time.
This video focuses on the preparation of the tool itself prior to being run in the hole.
Part 2 will be sent tomorrow.
In the Part 2 video, Steve Richards will explain more of the technical aspects of the process.
Below, is a link to an animation of the rotary sidewall coring tool and process.
A truly remarkable piece of technology!
Pictures attached.
Enjoy!!
