As reported yesterday, backing off resulted in detachment at ~500 m depth. After pulling out the drillers needed to attend to some maintenance on the rig, a common occurrence after prolonged periods of jaring. For the record it is also noted that a second attempt of using acid to dissolve cement in the string and around the fish had been abandoned at this juncture. At 16:40 the crew was ready to run in with the string again to try to hook onto the fish. At 21:15 the crew successfully backed off and POOH began. Early this morning the crew started to run in with a cement-string. After running in with 100 m of fibreglass it became apparent that there were still problems with cement residue in the string and hence POOH again. After cleaning out the fibreglass singles running in of the cement string started again just after 10:00 o’clock this morning.
