That's a picture of the original well plan for the sidetrack we are drilling. It might be hard to see but they drill about 12000 feet straight down then curve and go close to horizontal and on this well drill about 8000 feet. Its changed a little since then. They've extended the lateral by about 1000 feet. That's what I found out this morning as the directional driller was talking. So that will add about 2.5 days if we're able to drill it straight through. If there's a problem and we have to trip early then we're looking at an extra 3 days on top of that. If we can drill straight through we have about 7 days of drilling and then 2 days until we're out of the hole and headed home. So it looks like 9 more days minimum before I can finally come home. But I'm thinking I should get close to a week off which will be nice. The extra days out here are good and bad. I can't wait to be home for some days to be able to see everyone.
