We have become good fishermen here at the drill site, today we retrieved the second mill bit and attached stiff pipe. The bit is still in good shape, but the stiff pipe has been heavily stressed at its joints. Additionally, the stiff pipe has been scraped thin in places by rotating against the newly cut casing walls. We hope that milling the past few days has produced a straighter hole and opened a pathway into the side wall of the bent casing. Tomorrow morning, we will be conducting detailed inclination surveys at the bottom of the hole, and our next course of action will be determined by the findings of these surveys.
