Bapex rejoinder, our reply
Bapex in a rejoinder on The Daily Star news headlined "Niko skirts plan to drill relief well" published on Monday said that some points in the newsitem we renot correct.
Hie rejoinder said: Niko submitted the relief well drilling programme in the afternoon of July 23, 2005, which is still being reviewed by Bapex.
Thus objecting to the plan in writing by the Joint Management Committee is baseless.
Moreover, the purpose of drilling a relief well is to seal the gas leakage sources.
Quite often a successful relief

well drilling requires drilling of a number of wells.
After all, the nation would not like to see a third blow-outin Tengratila.
To ensure a successful relief well, whatever necessary would be done with the help of specialised consultants engaged for relief well drilling.
This is for your kind information that neither Bapex nor the major drilling contractors of the world have the expertise or technology to drill relief well.
There are only a few specialised companies who can handle relief well drilling.
Statements relating to the three dimensional study, drilling of well for commercial purpose before relief well, drilling of horizontal well etc are all imaginary stories and far from reality.
Our reply:
The Daily Star is not clear why Bapex went at length describing the importance of drilling a relief well and howit contradicts this story.
Niko's new proposal deals with drilling of a well that does not aim at sealing the blown out well and there-foreit is not a relief well.
Since it is not a relief well, it will serve as a development well.
Our story did not say the joint committee "objectedin writing".
It said that the joint committee that approves the plan in writing has objected to this plan.
The reference of "in writing" approval has been mentioned to remind that the joint committee is the ultimate approving authority.
But in reality the energy adviser has given Niko "verbal approval" on the planwhichislikely to affect the decision making process.
It is not clear as to what Bapex means by saying that statements relating to three-dimensional study etc were imaginary.
After tabling its first remedial plan one month ago, Niko proposed other options like three-dimensional study and there was debate on how the drilling would take place.
