4:10 p.m. Additional Drilling Update

Per Texas Brine, on yesterday while installing a seismic monitoring station in a geo-technical core well, a sonic casing was driven down to 475′. While removing the outer casing, at 415′ they encountered a pocket of gas which blew grout and mud out of the casing. A gauge was placed at the well head which read 180 pounds of pressure. The drilling company then went back into the casing with heavier drilling mud to complete the operation and not lose the geo-technical core well which is currently setting before the technological equipment can be installed.

wtf does THAT mean???
there are just random "pockets of gas" that they don't know about and cannot even foresee while drilling that can explode?
this sounds like russian roulette
