Pulling out of hole continued yesterday while pumping 13.5. L/s via the kill-line. Reaming was necessary between 3415 and 3410 m. The drill bit was out at the rig floor at about 16:00. Inspection of the drill bit yielded that the drill bit was still in good condition. While pulling out of hole the drill string was carefully inspected. Thereby damages at 4 singles were discovered. The first single was calculated to a depth of 3310 m and the other 3 were slightly deeper. From 16:45 to 22:15 the top drive was inspected and slip and cut was carried out. Logging engineers from Weather ford arrived on site yesterday and started to rig up the logging tools for logging while drilling/tripping. Today the rig crew carried out cleaning and maintenance works while the logging while drilling/tripping tool is still in the rig up process.
