Milling of the outer core barrel continued today in
The bit on the far left of the photo is the milling bit that was used today (Wednesday). The overshot to be sent downhole tonight is located at the feet of the fisherman and rig member.

Milling of the outer core barrel continued today in preparation for another fishing attempt using the overshot. The milling bit is being pulled out of the hole this evening and a new overshot assembly will be tripped in tonight. The wear on the surface of the milling bit will hopefully be symmetrical, consistent with the core barrel being centered in the open hole and in good position for being grabbed by the overshot. If so, we have a reasonable chance of retrieving the core barrel tomorrow. Stay tuned.
