Rotary drilling progressed well down to 10,000 feet MD
PI's Mark Zoback and Bill Ellsworth discuss the final coring plans for the second sidetrack.

Rotary drilling progressed well down to 10,000 feet MD. Due to a hydraulic problem with the top drive, there was no drilling for much of the day. The problem is fixed and drilling is currently at 10,060 feet and will continue for approximately another day.
