Title	Agreement State Report - Well Logging Source Lost in Well During Training
Event Description	The following is taken from a facsimile sent by the Agreement State (Texas) Event description: After well logging operations on the afternoon of August 10, 2004, the well logger was removing the source from the tool on the training well. The tool was not fully engaged with the source. When the source cleared the logging tool, the well logger bumped the source into the deflector, causing the source to drop from the handling tool. The deflector performed properly and deflected the source, an 18 curie Am/Be (neutron) source downhole. This is the Atlas No. 2 well, an un-cased hard-rock well located on the Baker Hughes property for training of Baker Hughes staff. The source is a GammaTron Model DA20, Serial No 36313. The source is known to be at the bottom of the 5750 foot well. The training well is currently full of fluid. The operator is going to replace the fluid with clear fluid and begin 'fishing' operations. The wellbore is 8-7/8 inches and this source with nose plug is 9 inches in length. TX Incident # I-8152
