All right guys I'm headed over to the property. I'm currently at my hotel. The well drillers
should be there on site and they should be, I don't know how far deep they're going to be but
maybe if I'm lucky they've already hit water. I doubt it but let's go see.
got here. They put one more drill bit down, 20 foot drill bit and they're going to test it here
in a minute. They let it settle for about five minutes and then they're going to test it.
See how many gallons a minute that they're sitting at.
That is? Yeah. Oh. I didn't know that. If I look at it I get it so I know I think.
Thanks. Okay Darrell, see you in the morning. All right. That's making two. Two gallons?
That ain't a real good well but you've seen the water that it blew in five, six minutes.
Pretty good. Yeah so two gallons a minute right now at 320? Yep. You need more.
All right I'll see you in the morning. We'll be here Darrell. Okay Jeff's got to hit the road.
At this point we were getting about three gallons
a minute and I let Dave know that I couldn't go past 400 feet because otherwise I'd be writing
a check I couldn't cash and he said that I needed more than just three gallons a minute so
he offered to go another 40 feet at no charge.
At 435 feet they broke through into a water cavern and it started producing between 10
and 12 gallons a minute. They never would have broken through if Dave hadn't
offered to give another 40 feet at no charge because I was too scared to keep going. I didn't
know how much more money was going to be added so that's on Dave and tanko drilling. I highly recommend.
