Drilled into the caprock at the top of a salt dome. While at shallow depth but supposedly adequate mud weight it came back north on us. Had to take out through the diverters straight to the Gulf and the atmosphere. Bubbles coming up around the drive pipe.
Sour gas.
Shutdown the Gulf from Main Pass to West of the Mississippi River included all shipping and boat traffic in and out of the river.
Twas a bad one. Got Boots and Coots on it and finally got it killed.
There were some unhappy folks to be found and didn’t have to look far to find them.
