Lost In Hole

Readers,

This is not a remake of the so famous serie "lost", not the title of a crappy porn movie, neither an ad for a golf club.In my previous post, I was jailed inside the routine of the job: Sleep during the day, come during the night and monitore this "so far so good job".

Right after posting it, something happened. The drillstring parted into 2 parts and the bit + the motor were left in the hole while everything else was on surface. We had to burry this motor and this bit in hole with a strong cement plug ( what a sad end to finish 2km downhole...). The plan was to reopen a new hole few meter upper than the cement plug. while trying to do this, we stuck the drillstring.

After 2 days of "earthquaking " the drillstring and pumping some pipe "lax" we freed everything.
All in all , it gave us 6 days of "vacations". Nothing to do during this time.

It is quiet uncommon to face these two situations in one well section ( Lost something in hole and get stuck ). following my logic, we only miss kick or a blow out or a rig evacuation to complete the picture.

Anyway, I am still waiting my releaver... he should have been here 40 minutes ago for taking his shift.
