Under pressure

Wednesday 20th

It seems I did a lot of work today for little progress. The challenge was to get the differential pressure calculations correct. This is the difference between the pressure when the bit is of the bottom and rotating compare with actually drilling. One of the issues is determining when to take the off bottom measurement and we decided to use the flow rate as cut off. I ran the calculation multiple times trying to get a reasonable answer and realised the "old" incorrect calculated values were still there. Eventually it worked out but it was a frustrating day.

I also organised my expense claim which has lightened my wallet of a heap of receipts.

I had Thai for lunch and headed to the Crab places again for some more steamed crabs. I had about half there and then got a box to take home where I finished them off. I was able to clean them properly, wash of the hot spices and dunk them in 1000 islands dressing as well.




I watched the Phantom of the Opera DVD that I borrowed from the library the other day.

Her are some more pix of buildings in the strip mall where I bought my bikini bottoms (That amused someone for some reason) and shoes. The pic at the top is the shoe shop. All the building in this mall pay homage to a particular architectural style (ie they are cheap knock offs) complete with statues, fountains and so forth.
