With approx. 270 sections (3 meters per) of drill stem in the ground they may lose the ability to steer the drill bit or maybe there isn't enough horsepower in the rig to turn all that stem or the crew is exhausted from pulling all that stem to change the diamond bits OR they ran out of drill stem.Just some possibilities.GLTA.
