Just for your information, and please don't share

Just for your information, and please don't share this with anyone else, but there are not very many guys in the oil patch that have the experience of having a river of water at the bottom of their oil well.  And when you have a tidal wave of fresh water, it becomes a driller's nightmare, no matter how much experience they may have.  That amount of water makes the drilling about ten times as complicated, and in many instances with a lot of drillers, makes it almost impossible to complete the well.  For Treaty, First, there's the open hole, Second there's the water, Third, you have to know exactly what is surrounding the open hole not only at the top of the water level, but also at any level above the bottom that may have shown oil, or even other water.  Fourth, you then need to make a judgement to determine what procedure to do so that you can stop the water flow as much as possible, and I do mean attempt to stop it all if possible.  Fifth, you need to make a judgement of what is above the now plugged bottom and determine if it is not so porous that water will pressure seep up  the hole cavity from below, and this can cause further water problems.  Sixth, you will need to then attempt to perf the area where the oil show was shown with a positive test, and this perf level should be somewhere around 100' above the plugged bottom.  If not that much distance, then sand and debris could fill the hole to above the perf and that's not good.  Also, you need about 30' or 35' below the perf area for tools and whatever to have some flex room down the hole from the perf.  Finally, you hope you have the oil that the tests indicate you have, otherwise, all of the extra expense in trying to complete the well went for naught.  Simple, NO.  Not at all.  Even the best drilling companies have screwed this procedure up as it depends a lot on what is downhole in the earth's formation tha will allow you to accomplish these activities.  And that can vary from well to well, unless of course they are just a few feet apart.  So, let's hope for Mother Earth to be good to us, and let's hope the Treaty drillers can get it done.   (For you engineers out there, this is just a simple picture of what needs to be done.  I'm sure some will want to expand further, perhaps even a lot further.)  We need a little luck on this one, well, maybe more than a little.
