Has anyone heard what problems Mitsui has encountered drilling this well? The rig has been on site since October 3, 2025.

My understanding is MEP has one well that has a casing leak that must be remedied before fracturing. Not sure if it is the well you are asking about.

Alan, they went too deep on the first lateral and realized they were not in the “zone”. Had to back out seal that lateral and go back in and found the zone they were looking for. I believe lateral was permitted for 8500’ they stopped at 6500’. I was told there was a fault line they did not want to take a chance on of getting into. Reason for stopping at 6500’. Drilling has been complete almost a week. In process of removing equipment and rig now. Possibly frac after fracking is complete of Lipsey wells.
Good info! Thanks for sharing!
