Drilling continued to a depth of 3178 m last evening. At that depth total loss of circulation was measured and the string got stuck for a short while. Drilling activity was stopped for several hours during last night due to the strong wind conditions. After cleaning and circulating the well it was started at 7:30 AM to POOH. POOH will be followed by a logging in the open hole.
