Looks like they're still drilling...got all the pipe pulled to put a new bit on maybe. Where's Brute23. He works for a company that drills oil and gas wells.
Spot on Tex. The reason I believe they're doing a bit change is there are no service company vehicles spotted around so they did not trip out for logging. Second thing for questioning Penn is because they use a lot of air drilling up there - no mud pit. This well has a mud pit. Another thing is this appears to be a vertical well (no directional drilling cab) which is another reason I question Penn. The Marcellus shell play in Penn is very similar to Eagleford, Barnet and Haynesville plays in that there is a lot of horizontal drilling. They're not frac'ing at this point so they are not in the completion phase yet. Also the well is pretty deep - lots of drill pipe stacked. The derrick is pretty small for a deep, directional job though.
Man, I need to get a life if I sit around looking for things like this!!!!!
