Close to 400 meters. Drilling continues last night as levels of H2S dropped beneath dangerous levels. The clay zones encountered are hard and it is difficult to get it out of the core-catchers. A thin gravel layer was drilled between 365 and 369 mbsf according Drilling Operations Manager Beau Marshall. Yesterday morning there was a small earthquake in the northern Dead Sea (3.5 om the Richter Scale) not too far from the drilling site.
