Drilling into formation commenced at 08:00 at a depth of 4311 m. At 12:30 the well was circulated. From 13:30 to 16:00 a chemical tracer was injected while pumping 20 L/s through the string and 14.5 L/s on the kill-line. Drilling into formation started again at 16:00 at a depth of 4324 m. At about 20:00 the string got stuck when the rig crew wanted to make another connection and the drilling crew reamed slightly up to 4325 m. Reaming from 4325 to 4322 m continued and at 01:30 the string was free again and drilling into formation commenced at 4334 m. Drilling is ongoing and current depth is 4355 m.
