Has he arranged the ‘gain’ value to suit his own purposes?
Do you have any other interpretation?"
I E-mailed him exactly what’s above, and he replied with:
Tell him the 4.1 bbls expands to 70 feet 8.4 bbls and 800 psi under
the casing hanger and that was enough to breakdown the weak zone and
push mud out of annulus.
It wasn't arbitrarily applied like Obama's moratorium.
