You are most welcome Lanman, I just wish I had of sold a few more first thing in the morning before the announcement :)

I have copied a post from Anoroc over on the other bullboard that seems to be technically accurate and as usual well thought out. It offers some clues to the water problem and the resultant steam that would move up the Foldeak (or any well that fractures into water??). I would appreciate your take on the steam's impact on the Foldeak and how it could possibly impact Exxon's decision to maybe go forward with Phase 2 if you would care to take a shot at it. Best regards, Paul

Re: Falcon NR Release - Part 2



Bill,we all know that the mission of Földeak 1 to save XOM on board went absolutely wrong.
BOTOH it is now time to admit in terms of the physical impossibility that gas would be reaching the well first.
We are talking about temperatures around 200 degrees Celius and water will appear only in a highly charged molecular condition as hot steam working its way with ultra high speed to the well and up to the surface,surpressing any other compounds like NG.
Wherever water is on its way up in any well, the flowrates can never develope to satisfaction.
If you check the numbers,we had to face 560 m3 of NG and 540 m3 of water were the daily rates.Gimmi the chance to introduce you to 1 m3 of 200 degrees of hot steam to show you the power of that element.
A steam engine could pull a 2500 tons train in a closed circuit for 2 miles.
Therefore whenever waterinflux or any similar impact happens to a well,its better to discontinue operations
as XOM suggested.The hot steam will find the way up the well through any crack or gap before any gas molecule will ever arrive.
There is no technology available to bridge the gaps due to the speed and the high pressure.If you could induce 250 Atmospheres to the closed circuit of a steam engine you would be able to create a perpetuum mobile or perpetual motion machine,driving the train for ever.
So-once and for all times and all posters- do not talk about the flowrates any more,without being ridiculous.
We all know that we have to deal with high pressure and high temperatures .Does anyone of you have any imagination what it means to meet steam under 6000 PSI pressure and 250 degree temperature? NO !
So you better read the NR and go back to your TV set watching your favourite soap opera.
But it doesn`t matter any more as there are just 3 or 4 posters left on this very board.I can not remember
having met any other posters like RC,GC and bill c in 2009,oops I forgot investor 26,but in my guess,investor is not from this planet.
Whenever Falcon will die, this board has died long before due to their posters and their fatal inputs.
Completing my post I state that XOM did not have any idea of water during the drilling procedures.All the operations going through down to the bottom of the Szolnok formation didn`t have any shows of water in the muds.Therfore the influx of water is in fact a consequence of the fraccing procedures due to the wrong design applied correspondingly.To define the water reservoir and avoid any influx entirely should be the consequence of learning by doing.MAKO 4 is not more than 3 miles away and didn`t show any water if my memory serves me well.
The Gas is caught in the rock but not the water. Water reservoirs can happen in a famous thermal area.
To quit off shore operations because oft the sharks is as stupid and unbelievable as to quit operations in a thermal region,because of water influx while fraccing.This is rather the price one must pay to learn.
