Thats right, and people need to understand that they simply cant run that bore anywhere they want. I had a oil rig supervisor tell me on the plane that they have to stay within a certain line and within a couple feet, or so, of that target.

At that time, he said they had two drill bits broken in the bore they were attempting to drill and that they had to retrieve them.

He was taking a 4 day vacation to Vegas as the crew that did the process took over the rig to get those bits back.

About '82, we went to a location that was air drilling in the lower Pecos valley.

They hit a NG zone and burned off 2 drill collars.
