I sent an update this morning saying that they are moving to another place and starting to drill a totally different well at Dons because of that cave in.
Just before they pulled the rig down Ivan called some experienced well drillers and asked them some advice. They told him if you can keep drilling and you have no problem with jamming the rods and bit tight then just keep going.
The reason it would jam up is because if he keeps drilling and the area keeps collapsing it could very well jam it so bad that they wouldn't be able to get it out at all. But that didn't happen and by around 3 they had most of the rods in till 385 feet. Because the water and air disappear into the cave in at the 165 foot mark they can't tell at all if they've found water.
The plans are to pull the rods then after a few hours put a weighted rope down to see if anythings caved and close the well of and if there is water. If there is water they will just put the casing is and keep moving. Lets pray for the best.
