Scientific activities are still suspended. The scientific team is limited to the project manager PhD Isaac Bezerra and microbiology PhD Angela Jimenez. They are monitoring the operations with the Company Man Clauses Sérgio.
The first attempt to sidetrack the operation initiated on November 20th was not successful. The drilling company has made a second attempt, as geophysical logging indicated the possibility of the drill pipe sticking, hindering the sidetrack in an open hole.
Adjustments were made to tools and the plan, and a new attempt began on November 30th. These are time-consuming operations as they require extensive preparation and maneuvers.
These have been days of great learning in drilling operations and patience.
