Keeping the focus while waiting, playing pool during yesterdays lunch-break.

Druring the last 24 hours, drilling had been recessed two times due to adjustments to the new mud pump; initially between 10:30 and 14:30 for replacing the sleeves, and again between 17:30 and 22:00 last night, when the pump had to be leveled off with a crane. Consequently, little has been drilled, as can be seen in the summary of drilling data in figure 1. The ROP has been between 3 and 4 m/hrs, but increased this morning up to 6-10 m/hrs. The WOB was then decreased and ROP is now again around 3-4 m/hrs. Fortunately circulation losses have decreased down to 0 l/s and around 10:40 AM, the well had reached 708,5 m with an apparent decrease in drill cuttings size.
