Shale, shale and more shale


The drill crew have been to re-piping the borehole due to multi-directional shale formations near the bottom (1492m). Shale, being an unstable formation, sluffs into the borehole and prevents the WireLine (imaging device) to reach the bottom to analyze the the completed drilling operation. Weatherford Wireline Services have left the site, so it looks like the drill crew may be preparing to move to another site soon.
