The big day has arrived - we have completed the detail work of getting the rig set to go and we are now going into the hole to begin the hole opening exercise. Although the remedial work on the casing will still have to be done, it turned out that Halliburton wasn't scheduled to be on the island for another couple of weeks and, rather than pay a very high premium to mobilize them out here just for a one-day job, we decided to defer the corrective work until after they get here next month. We should be able to take a break from drilling some time in May and have Halliburton come in to do the work, and get back to hole opening with minimal wasted time and resources. By the end of the day today we should be at 6000' and making progress on the hole opening work.
