[QUOTE=pumpjack hand;38400]If you are saying they didn’t have the tools to avert dying on the drill floor under worse case scenario, then I say they shouldn’t go to the drill floor until you give them the tools. These wells are only going to get more difficult. Let them know they have the tools.[/QUOTE]
Once this well was drilled to TD & the decision made to run casing the tools were a proper casing design & a proper cement job followed by a CBL run to confirm. I guarantee you they would have eventually run a CBL no matter what. I guarantee you the rig costs on that CBL run wouldn’t have been free. I guarantee you it would have been against another AFE for completion instead of drilling. Just think this all may have occured because someone was worried about an AFE.
