Drilling of cement continued on October 10th at a depth of 3085 m. At 3120 m fluctuations in the stand-pipe pressure were observed and a total loss of circulation was detected. Drilling continued until 12 and was subsequently stopped at a depth of 3152 m. At 12 the string was pulled up to 2600 m and preparation for a cement job started. The cement job was carried out by pumping a total of 15 m3 of cement slurry through the drill string followed by 30 m3 of water. The string was then pulled out of the well.
