Drilling of the sonic rig that encountered gas at 90’ on Friday was stopped and plugged with cement and grout as they were unable to put in the water well due to the inability to control the gas pushing mud and water to the surface. DNR hired The Shaw Group engineers to redesign a well that can be placed for venting operations.

DNR is currently looking for locations as well as willing individual property owners to place additional geo-probe observation wells.
The drilling rig is being dismantled and moved out today [...]
