The drilling crew is getting ready for casing the well by welding together 24 ?" casing segments yesterday morning.

Again, drilling went smoothly the last 24 hours. 54 meters were drilled during 22 hours without any indications of circulation losses. Drilling has only been recessed for mending pumps and connections of the mud system. An inclination measurement was made this morning at around 240 m depth, showing that the well inclines about 2°. Preparations for the casing and cementing job ahead are ongoing. The weather conditions are cold, with temperatures below -10°C, fairly still and more snow is forcasted over the weekend.
