21 the most part, our -- our wells -- this
22 well in particular is 98 percent shale. So
23 what we do is, we use our indicators to
24 qualitatively estimate what our shale
25 pressure is. And then if we know what our
00241:01 shale pressure is and we know the
02 difference in sand versus shale pressure,
03 we can infer sand pressure.
04 Q. But when you were going through
05 shale, that's the problem?
06 A. Sands are -- are stringers. So
07 we'll be going through a shale -- when he
08 refers to a shale being undercompacted,
09 he's saying they're underpressured relative
10 to the sands.
Page 242:01 to 242:20
00242:01 Q. But whether it's goo or
02 undercompacted shale, the point is that
03 your instruments are calibrated, assuming
04 you're going through compacted shale, and
05 then you use the contrast between that and
06 the gas --
07 A. We are going through -- like
08 he's using undercompacted in terms of under
09 pressure. These are very much compacted,
10 indurated hardened shales.
11 Q. All right. He writes, Why not
12 have a weight up schedule based on the
13 forecast already made from the offset well
14 and that takes into account the LOT
15 pressures we obtained in this well?
16 A. Uh-huh.
17 Q. And then you respond -- you talk
18 about where the first kick was, and that
19 was between around 12,050 feet and 12,100,
20 right?
Page 243:01 to 244:14
00243:01 Q. You said uh-huh and I need a
02 yes.
03 A. I'm -- I'm sorry. Yes.
04 Q. Yes. The second kick around
05 13250, you saw 150u connection gasses
06 lagged up from connections at 12,933 and
07 13070; is that right?
08 A. That's what I wrote. I don't
09 remember the specifics of the data I was
10 looking at when I constructed this, but
11 I -- I don't question the fact that I wrote
12 that.
13 Q. And then you say, In hindsight
