What probably happened with the screw
portion in the
plug is when he / she stuck the rasp thru the
hole to ream it out a
portion of the screw was still in the
hole and it pushed in then got caught in the goop later, only thing I can think of anyway.
If the one end is tapered, you could possibly put the tube over the tapered end, sliding it toward the narrow side, then weld the two ends together, sliding the tube over the welded
portion, then
plug weld the
holes, then the ends.
(5) Whenever, before or during the drilling of a well not within the boundaries of an operating coal mine, the well operator encounters conditions of a nature which renders drilling of the bore
hole or a
portion thereof impossible, or more hazardous than usual, the well operator, upon verbal notice to the department, may immediately
plug all or part of the bore
hole, if drilling has occurred, and commence a new bore
hole not more than 50 feet from the old bore
hole if the location of the new bore
hole does not violate section 3215 (relating to well location restrictions) and, in the case of a well subject to act of July 25, 1961 (P.L. 825, No. 359), known as the Oil and Gas Conservation Law, if the new location complies with existing laws, regulations and spacing orders and the new bore
hole is at least 330 feet from the nearest lease boundary.
