Thanks, George.

Actually, no drilling has taken place. We were trying to plan ahead and kill two birds with one stone (water well plus forage ponds).

We have the equipment to make the forage ponds ourselves, but again we can't go deep enough for the good clay.

If we can use the drilling mud, we would dig the forage ponds according to when the drilling contractor is on site and use the drilling mud on the freshly dug ponds.

We'll definitely talk to the guys, and I'll ask about carbonates and acidized completion. I don't know what that is yet, but I'll do some research. \:\)
