APBwork. It is just in the contingency case, where we rrculd replace the contingency 11-3/4" expandable wilh a shorter 11-7 18"conventional liner? For the initialdesign, 16" would be set at 11,500'MD/TVD, 13-5/8"linerfrorn 11,300'to 14,500'MD/TVD and 11-718"from 14,30O'to 15,600' MD/TVD. Followed by S7l8" long string to the wellhead from 19500' to 5067'. Let me know if you need anythirq else to see if this affects the design you already completed for this well Thank You, Brian Morel

I believe you ran the APD for Macordo, if so I have a few questions for you regarding the design. When you get a free moment, if you would mind give me a call that would be great. Thanks, Brian Morel
