Pulling out of the coring string had to be stopped at 1:45 in the night of October 5th due to a storm. The wind speed was between 20-30 m/s. Pulling the string continued after the storm calm down and the core barrel was finally out of the well at 23:30. There was no core in the core barrel and the coring bit was badly worn. The plan is to clean the well and conduct a cement job through the drill string.
