27/10/22 - Scallywag drilling
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:43 pm
Scallywag, everyone's favourite tenement to love/hate.....
To remind you where it is, north and west of HAV, and 100% owned by GGP.
The Oct / Nov 22 drilling is focused very close to the northern boundary (within the yellow line) next door to Blackhills (its distinctive outcrops of rocks are inside the green loop - where the JV drilling was always in close proximity to.....)
Numerous pads were prepared earlier in 2022, and according to SD's words RC drilled and collars installed (that type of drilling and collar fitting is very tricky to spot via Sentinel), with a pad visible at the tip of every blue arrow.
And just to prove my inability to spot an obvious spot the first core drill, appeared on 27th October ..... at a location where I hadn't even noticed a pad....
It is inside the blue circle....
The drill was still there on the 1st November....
The drill was still there on the 6th November.... although its angle may have changed marginally .....which could possibly maybe perhaps be an indication of a bit of wedge drilling - two drills heading off in slightly different directions using the same collar through the dull and boring permian. [...and I could be utterly wrong about that wedge - they may have had an issue with the drill, for example, and had to try again.]
....and the drill was still there on the 11th November.
....things may have got more exciting subsequently. Although it's hard to tell - yeah, I know......
The Sentinel updates on the 16th and 21st November have both been white out / blanket cloud. Fingers crossed for a clear day on the 26th November at the next update.
