Drilling of the IDDP-1 well started again shortly after last midnight. The BHA was run into the borehole at 2 o ´clock in the afternoon yesterday. The well had to be cooled for a few minutes before each new drill pipe stand could be added after reaching a depth of 432 m. Drilling is progressing slowly, at 8 o ´clock this morning the drill bit reached a depth of 641 m. Because of the increased leakage at 425 m and 455 m depth, mica was added to the mud in an attempt to tighten the feed zones. Circulation losses have reduced from 20 l/s yesterday afternoon down to 2 l/s at 6 o ´clock this morning, which is a very a good result. The BHA has not changed besides the new bit and jar. Inclination measurements showed that the well is inclining 1.5° at 613 m and 622 m depth.
