Drill rig T?r in the sun at IDDP-1 drill site 12th of May, 2009.

Yesterday morning, side-track sliding continued, with WOB varying from 2-8 tonne. Before noon ROP was kept between 0.5 – 7 m/h. Around 15:00 drilling with rotation started. Pumping was increased to 60 L/s, raising the stand-pipe pressure to ~ 170 bar. WOB was kept between 6-11 tonne with increased but more variable ROP’s due to higher WOB. Unfortunately the data system broke down at midnight so no data were recorded during last night. TD was reached 05:00 this morning at 2005 m depth. At 05:30 the drill string got stuck with bit 8 m above bottom of well. Now the flow through motor is varying from 20 – 60 L/s in attempt to shake the string loose.
