Last night and this morning the crew had problems with inflating the casing packer. Several lines of attack were tried. Early this morning the crew had some success. The packer was inflated and seemed to behave as expected. This morning various methods of cementing the casing were under discussion. They included reverse circulation cementation. These were put on hold and the casing packer tested.
