I visited Princess/Treaty San Juan #3 wellsite on Easter Sunday (March 31st 2013).
I saw a huge difference in the standards of operations there compared to San Juan #2. Princess / Treaty San Juan # 3 operation looks like it is to international petroleum industry standards.
Photo below shows San Juan #3 wellsite View from South East Access (through San Juan Village)
During my visit I saw:
- The mud System with pumps, mud tanks and shale shaker in the with well cuttings going down a chute into a waste pit.
- The rig is a much bigger rig than Treaty use on San Juan #2 with a top drive. The hydraulic system for top drive is mounted on the bed of the truck next to the derrick.
- The rig has been driven on top of a substructure to give space for the BOPs and to give a good drilling position.
- While I was there, the rig was drilling ahead at 900 ft (ROP 1min/ft) with the next joints of drill pipe on the pipe rack ready to hoisted when needed. The Belizean Driller (who previously worked on BNE wells) was in charge of the rig and doing pipe measurements and tallies as one would expect.
- There was also a US drilling consultant at the site.
I was hosted on my visit by Max Mohamed the Treaty rep., geologist and mud logger. He admits that little is known about the geology of this part of Belize - so this is true wildcat exploration. He indicated that next target depth is 2500-2800 ft.
There is only one drill crew on site so the well is shut-in overnight with night watchman watching the well (he has the numbers to call if he says any change in well condition).
The San Juan 1 and 2 are currently shut in. Max advised that Treaty/Princess wanted to see what this no 3 well looks like before making a final decision on those two wells - whether to Plug&Abandon or do further testing/deepening etc.
San Juan #1 and #2 Wellsite is also being used for storage of equipment and drill pipe.
I was made very welcome at the site.
My feedback and more photos (which I cannot post here due to time limitations and IHub "one at a time" photo loading) have been passed to Treaty PR.
I also attach a Google Earth map of Princess/Treaty well locations.
