A new BHA being prepared, May 3rd 2009. Figure shows 16 1/2" bit, one way valve and the lowermost part of a drilling motor.

Yesterday at 13:00 pulling out of hole was finished and preparations for a new set up of BHA started. At 22:00 the string had been run to 800 m depth. Early this morning the bit reached the top of the plug at 1905 m depth. The plug was drilled down to 1953 m, not showing much signs of hardening. Tha plan is to continue drilling into the plug, to ca. 2000 m depth, before further decisions are made.
