12 Morel, and Gord and Kate. It was my call
13 to go to a 12.3. I told them I didn't want
14 to drill the sands around 13,000 without

16 Is that what you wrote?
17 A. That is what I wrote.
18 Q. And again, putting aside the F

00259:11 When you went out to the
12 well, your intention at the time that you

15 A. Yes, sir.
16 Q. There came a time when you were
17 called back in after about a week?
18 A. Yeah. I think it was a little

20 Q. Okay.

Page 260:09 to 260:23
00260:09 A. Yeah. The first -- the first
