Q Sorry, not formation, technique to stay in the formation. So you're going down two miles and across two miles. What's the most popular?
A Geosteering. They call it, there's directional drilling and geosteering is what guides directional drilling. And so the geosteer is usually trained in, in geology, you know, reads, uh, measurements that they take down hole, and he sort of uses his, um, intuition and his knowledge, and historically, uh, uses some desktop computer assistance, but also is the seat of his pants to keep the well, you know, in the target formation, and this has worked pretty great for the last 20 years. It's, It's not that it's, uh, failing, but it turns out that, that there's a big, it's a big stress on an individual having to do this job, and so every 20 minutes, you get some new measurements in, and you've got to You've got to read some, uh, wiggly lines on a screen that are measurements and figure out what that means as far as the geology, and then, you know, if you make a wrong decision, you've steered your wellbore out of the productive zone and possibly into a hazard that could cause you to, you know, a very expensive sidetrack, so it's a high-stress Uh, decision that people have been making.
