During the last several days we placed several cement plugs in the upper interval of pillows (1990 - 2130 mbsl) and drilled them out again. It appears that our efforts were successful in reducing flow from those formations. We then drilled out several other cement plugs that were placed deeper in the hole and made it to the bottom of the opened section yesterday without major incident. We drilled on bottom for the balance of the day and through last night with a much lighter mud - with no downhole pressure problems and not much mud loss into the formation. Barring any major pressure zones below us, we should be able to make reasonable progress to our projected casing depth. At the present moment, the hole is at a drillers depth of 8594' (2619 m) and we are tripping out of the hole to replace the bit.
