	I guess there's a possibility of another well Squeaky but my understanding (and it's very limited when it comes to this area) is that it's not necessarily a problem with the well alone. But possibly with the general ability to extract gas from that structure. But who knows. AST has been very aggressive when it comes to re-visiting wells that first encountered problems.

	Firstly, great post Sugarcane, nicely put an end to a time wasting thread! Smarty/CC Re 104AA I'm sure that somewhere it was mentioned that if the existing drill can't be rescued then it was an option to drill a vertical well into the target resevoir. I get the feeling that the resevoir was worth the extra effort and as such I'm a little more confident than you seem to be that one way or another there will be production from 104AA. I'll have a look back and see if I can find where the second drill was brought up. More \| View thread (17) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up

	CC, You seem to have a very good handle on the operational front. Agree re Panhandle. It would make sense to put 105 on production as we are wasting cash having a producer shut in. I understand that 101 maybe able to fixed without a sidetrack ? just a cement squeeze needed. The rig is at 104aa and i'm sure that 105 will go onto production whilst it's there. Back to 101 before 106 ? whatever gets the most productive result cost effectively. Believe we will see 101 flowing @ 2m scuffs+ when rectified. 104aa - agree but maybe the loss of drilling fluid can be cleaned up and would be a real positive as it has been discounted by market. The real price moving events this year will be Hemrigen farm out, Fontana, Slovenian seismic & Lovaszi seismic. The sp is likely to move considerably before the drillbit hits Slovenian soil.

	Thanks for your reply Smarty. I don't believe we will see GH-1 be a producer anytime soon. Work needs to be done to make that happen and with the whole Panhandle situation ---they will wait for others to be drilled by whoever is left in the game there. also, there's an outside chance that they will go back to 101 before going to 106. It depends on how they decide to rectify the situation at 101. Like you - I hold little hope for 104aa but it's worth a shot. Etiher way - they will have 101 (if they can get it flowing) -105 & 106 producing by the end of Q2. Then - as you report - it's probably Slovenia. Could get a much nicer SP as we move to year-end.
