[quote]We've drilled some very high pressure gas wells in the south marsh island area, and on one especially rough well came in over $20 million over budget, and 6 months over time line. We fought loss returns, kicks, etc, but we also knew that once online, the well would take about 45 to pay for it...

I think it had more to do with the fact the well was a serious problem well. Drilling hadn't gone well, towards the end they were fighting lost returns before TD. It was getting expensive and they were trying to cut cost and save money by trying to save rig time....

A large number of my co-workers got told to get your passports up to date. I got a call yesterday asking if I want to move to Kuala Lumpur. Companies are gearing up for the worst but they are going to try to retain as many people as possible by moving them around before layoffs. I lot of the offers ...

Got a verbal from MMS today at the office. The MMS is changing the memo released on Sunday. They are now going to be shutting down all deepwater activity including workovers and completions at the behest of the federal government. According to the MMS guy we were talking to the Feds didn't feel as t...

Posted by creoleLSUfan on 5/28/10 at 10:46 am

I didn't mean to make it sound like it wasn't a big deal. I meant "only" as in not including the shelf. And the rig count we were referencing yesterday actually showed 35 active in the GOM. Active as in either drilling, completeling, or workover. Trust me I see how big of a deal it is....
