Basecamp visit

Yesterday, we decided to go to basecamp for the afternoon. I was supposed to be moving there to do EOWR but there are no free computers...
So we decided to get there in time for the weekly quicklook meeting, which we usually have every Saturday at 3pm. This was a good opportunity for a geologist reunion and quick photo-we were tempted to asked Well Engineering to take it ;-)







Simon came to pick us up as we were car-less; all the computers (including his laptop) on pad 3 were infected by a virus and were being sorted by Vavan; also there was no drilling because of a broken top drive. So it was a good distraction for him!

About 1 hour before leaving we suddenly spotted a UNGGF truck out of the window and realised that a CEL was going to take place! A CEL is another type of Cement Evaluation Log, which we do only for a few hundred meters into the well, just to check that the cement is OK. We later run a proper CBL for more precise information.





So we ran out to meet them and managed to sort it all out (just) before going to base. Except that today we noticed that we had put in the wrong well name. Ho-hum. All sorted.


Anyway, we got back fairly late last night but...I now have my car back :-))) so I'm happy. Slava wasn't.


We were planning on seeing the Baroid guys (remember Ivan? my English/Russian practice mate-he's back on shift and invited us over) and visiting their lab/watching them make the mud etc but just then we started drilling the last conductor section so everyone was rather busy. Let's see what we can do this evening...
