ASLLP has had <br />success establishing a cement basket on the short string 7" casing at a depth of 1470', <br />During milling operations on the long string 7" casing, the mill bit twisted off at a depth <br />of 1441'. <br />During subsequent fishing operations, ASLLP was unable to get the fishing tool past <br />1400' on the long string 7" casing. <br />On 6-3-2004, ASLLP performed a video inspection on both of the 7" casings on well 20- <br />14, The video inspection indicates a parted casing on both the long and short 7" <br />casings at a depth of 1394.6' The dissolution surface on well 20-14 is at 1442'. The <br />condition of the parted casing on the long string 7" casing prevents the insertion of a <br />bridge plug or a cement basket. <br />ASLLP proposes the following plugging procedure: <br />1. Run a 1 3/8" coil tubing as deep as possible into each 7" casing string. <br />C=iiv=_r;pG a Cr~_~stal C1aa_- i=d~~a^~aae <br />~NN~N . am=_r~::anscda . ccm <br />
