Yesterday morning drilling was stopped at 9 am at a depth of 256 m due to a rupture on one of the water pipes, supplying water to the rig site. Repairs lasted for 5.5 hours and drilling recommenced at 2:30 pm. Drilling progress was rather slow with ROP approx. 2 m/hr, but shortly after midnight at 00:45 am TD was reached at a depth of 274.9 m (268 m below surface). There was no loss of circulation in the hole, but inclination was 1,5° at ca. 260 m depth. Subsequently the hole was rinsed thoroughly and mud was diluted. At 5 o´clock the rig crew began to pull out of hole, and it is anticipated that this will be completed before noon. Winter conditions are prevailing at rig site today with snow fall, wind speed of 5-8 m/s and temperature of -11°C.
