"first Thankgiving in ten years at home."

Congratulations, bert!
I came home last evening, but the times I've been home for Thanksgiving have been few and far between.

I've worked a lot of wells around Pyote and Cayanosa, and if I remember correctly the Ellenberger comes in at about 22,000' the same as it does in the Gomez Field around Ft. Stockton.
I assume they permitted to 25,000' intending to drill to about 23,500' or just past the Ellenberger.
When I first went to the Gomez in about 1967, it was taking over a year to drill those 24,000' wells.
When the journal bearing bits came into being, we chopped that time to about seven months.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, old podnuh!

At the meeting, we had about the well, it was clear that they expect some oil at 25-30,000 ft. This was a few years ago and just after the first 3-d shots of the area. We were doing a very secret horziontal test well in the area and I do mean a tight hole, if I told about it I would have shot you and me.
