John,
Back then rotary steerables didn't exist so it was motors. WBM from memory. Not sure OBM is OK onshore US. I guess the latter answers #3.
Not sure what you mean by long. 1000 - 2000 ft were about the norm if I remember.
In the late 80's / early 90's it was a big play. To be honest, it's one I beleive was extensivle played out. To that extent what remains is scraps in my view, hence the belief EME will get a wee bit if they're lucky. It'll let them tick over at best. Personally I think it's a flaw in the business plan for amking EME a bigger outfit. All their acreage, be it Texas, California or whatever is all for scraps, nothing more. So far it's playing out that way.
Anyway, where are you these days. Me SNS. EO. doing well ain't they? ;-)))))

Al,
Funny thing about the States though is start with a small market cap, get enough scraps and you can sell out with a big increase in company value. Apparently EME's acreage is in a fairly neglected part of the Austin chalks. Presumably earlier wells drilled in the same general area had been bummers and the area had been written off. Same sort of even happened in the North Sea, everybody thought all the decent sized fields had been found then along came Edinburgh Oil & Gas with a share in the Buzzard field.
Anyway EME is a complete speculation nothing more.
Currently working on land job near Lincoln, then back to the North Sea.
DGO doing well ain't they? ;-))))) Has a lot more to come if they get a market for their rather large gas resources which is beginning to look very possible.

Just when I thought the bulls were winning.........
"LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Empyrean Energy PLC was an early casualty among small caps, losing 4 pence to 22-1/2 pence, as it said it will plug and abandon the Raun 1 well at the Bondi prospect in Texas, US.
The news comes after production testing recovered "

I did some of the very early Brenda wells a few years back for OIL. It doesn't say how much is net pay, but 452ft gross offers a good hit by the look of it.
Meantime, EME has a disaster really.

Yes Al the "SP" is just that,must admit i sold my nominnee shares but have some
stashed away for Eagle. It desperately needs a good result from the S/Kane wells and even then with the market as it is, i feel it will not hit the highs, short term?
O/Topic, the Huntington field is believed to be the biggest find since Buzzard and with the Mallory having the same common oil, its no wonder why several top
Canadian analysts give it their tip for 2008.

Projects Update
---------------
AIM listed Empyrean, the oil and gas explorer and producer with assets in
Germany and the USA, today announces the following general projects update:
Margarita Project, Gulf Coast Texas, USA
----------------------------------------
Production continues from three discovery wells that were drilled last year as
part of the six shallow well program at Margarita. For the month of January 2008
gross production from these wells amounted to 32,104 mcf of gas and 1,121 barrels
of oil. Empyrean has a 44% working interest in this project and has been
receiving its share of the production proceeds.
At this stage, Empyrean has elected not to proceed with any of the Margarita
deep prospects as management feel there are better risk versus reward
opportunities elsewhere.
Sugarloaf Block A, Onshore Texas, USA
-------------------------------------
The TCEI JV Block A-1 Well has now had 41/2' casing run that ties the 41/2'
liner in the horizontal section of the well all the way back to the surface.
An attempt to fracture stimulate the first interval has resulted in the frac
sand unable to be pumped even with high pressures (12,000 psi). Initial analysis
suspects poor contact between the casing holes and the reservoir, as this zone
in the reservoir was trying to flow whilst it was being drilled indicating good
permeability. The operator is conducting an analysis of this with a possible
remedy of bringing in a higher calibre perforating gun to gain better contact
with the reservoir.
Empyrean has a 7.5% working interest in this well. A further update will be
given as significant developments occur.
The TCEI JV Block A-2 Well is still planned to be used to monitor the fracture
stimulation of the TCEI JV Block A-1 Well, above, following which it will be
completed for production testing itself.
Empyrean has a 7.5% working interest in this well. A further update will be
provided as significant developments occur.
he TCEI JV Block A-3 Well has had a workover rig arrive on site and currently
there is 7' casing to a depth of 12,272', then a 61/8' open hole to Total Depth at
15,100'. This open hole section of the well was trying to flow whilst being
drilled and is therefore the focus of testing operations on this well. A packer
has been set at 11,507' with 27/8' tubing run back to the surface. The open hole
still has 15.9+/- ppg drilling fluids in it. Present operations are the pulling
of the packer at 11,507' following which the drilling fluids will be cleaned out
of the open hole for an open hole flow test.
As mentioned previously, following the open hole test, fracture stimulation may
be required depending upon flow rates from the open hole test.
Empyrean has a 7.5% working interest in this well. A further update will be
provided as significant developments occur.
Sugarloaf Block B, Texas, USA
-----------------------------
The Sugarloaf-1 Well is currently shut-in awaiting the results of Block A well
testing before the operator concludes plans for completion and testing of the
zones of interest.
Empyrean has a 6.0% working interest in this well. A further update will be
provided as significant developments occur.
The Kennedy-1H Well has had 41/2' liner run from Total Depth back to the
surface. The operator is awaiting the results of Block A well testing before
finalizing completion and testing operations on this well.
Empyrean has an 18.0% working interest in this well. A further update will be
provided as significant developments occur.
Glantal Gas Project, Germany
----------------------------
Empyrean has been working closely with the operator of the Glantal Gas Project,
US based Pannonian International Limited, to finalise plans for a seismic
program to assist in the definition of further drill targets on the massive
Pfalzer Anticline.
A geophysical consultant is also being commissioned to carry out further
analysis of existing seismic data that exists over the Glantal and Lautertal
Prospects.
Early indications are that the future seismic program will have more focus on
the Lautertal area of the Anticline.
A further update will be provided as significant developments occur.
Eagle Oil Pool Development Project, California USA
--------------------------------------------------
The operator, ASX Listed, Victoria Petroleum Ltd ('VicPet') has been attempting
to farm down their interest in this project and attract a new locally based
(USA) operator in to operate.
We are aware that the project was showcased in Houston during the last fortnight
at a major US oil conference and that there has been significant interest in the
project.
Empyrean currently maintains their 38.5% interest in this project and keenly
awaits news of any negotiations with the operator such that a new well can be
drilled on this project as early as possible.
A further update will be provided as significant developments occur.
Corporate
---------
Empyrean currently has approximately 1.46m at bank and is still currently in
credit with the operators of the Sugarloaf/ Sugarkane projects in the USA as
drilling and completion costs have been estimated and paid for in advance.
The information contained in this announcement was completed and reviewed by the
Technical Director of Empyrean Energy Plc, Mr Frank Brophy BSc (Hons) who has
over 40 years experience as a petroleum geologist.

Should be sub 20p soon.
The update as is, no problem, but the clarification of monies left tends to suggest they will be looking for more money soon, which makes the while update now seem like a precursor to going cap in hand for money.
Present market climate, that might be sub 10p levels..........
Not a good time to be a large EME holder I am afraid, imo.
