Blast Energy Services have experienced delays in getting their operations started in Kentucky but expect to be jetting as early as this week. The first two weeks encountered several mechanical and equipment problems, which prevented any lateral jetting operations from being performed. To remedy the issues, Blast has replaced its Operations Manager with Charles "Buster" Watkins and has successfully implemented several equipment changes and upgrades to avoid future delays.

"We believe that replacing the Operations Manager with a more experienced hand along with certain upgrades to our equipment will allow us to move forward with jetting operations this week," said John O'Keefe, President and CEO of Blast. "We are striving to offer a jetting process that has proven to be successful in the Austin Chalk formation in South Texas and are certainly frustrated by these issues impeding our progress."
