There was an obstruction in the lowermost part of the hole and after several attempts the casing was set at 260.5 m depth (14.4 m from bottom). This was completed at 01:00 am early this morning. Preparations for cementing the casing are now in progress. The cement string has been run down hole and since 06:00 am and the hole has been rinsed for mud with water and soda. Cementing will commence, when the hole has been cooled sufficiently.
