For the last day the 'fishing' company, Baker Hughes, has been attempting to retrieve the sources which became detached (on) 3/7/05, (at) ~2200 (hrs. PST). They will continue to do so but, if that's not successful, it's appearing as if the sources will be deemed irretrievable. This occurred on the 'Aera Ventura Avenue' well site, Ventura County, CA. The well is designated 'McGonigle 39.' If deemed irretrievable, the well will likely be sealed in place with a cement plug. Licensee will provide further details shortly and follow with written report. California Incident Number 0510# 030805. |
