Problems in drilling and completing Texas wells with high-pressure gas and lower-pressure zones (where the mud system is lost into the pay zone) are described; wells that have a gas zone in the lower zone and oil zone in the upper; wells with an oil zone in upper and lower zones but with different gravity weight and color; and wells where high-pressure gas kicks are found in the upper zone and returns are lost in the lower. Topics include isolating the pay zone and cementing the liner. Whether to frac or acidize is determined by checking fractures, fluorescences, and gas shows. Goal is to reach the fault in the chalk.
