It is near Dawson Creek, Alberta in the Brassey field. They took a sour kick at 4000m and burned the rig down. I am sure some heads rolled after that. Now what I think they are doing is abandoning the 1000m horizontal section and possibly are going to kick off in a different direction. I am a field specialist for one of the largest oilfield service companies...Schlum...

What is the rig forecast looking like down there? We are supposed to be a bit down for the winter, but most of the drilling here is for gas, so we aren't affected as much as if it was oil.
