We pulled out of the hole this morning, but alas, had no fish. The Principal Investigators decided that coring is complete and we should focus on perforating and cementing the casing, rather than continuing to fish for the lost bit. Our official final hole depth is 11,546.9', and we drilled 588.4' over this phase of the project. Although our recovery rate was variable depending on the character of the rock being drilled (with a max of 50' in one day), we averaged 23.5'/day over 25 full days of drilling. These web updates will continue, as we still have much to do before the rig is lowered and removed from the site.
