Currently workers are circulating to condition mud at 3667 metres drill depth while waiting for arrival at the wellsite of replacement drill pipe. The replacement of drill pipe by the drilling contractor, Century Drilling, has become necessary due to a number of recent failures in the integrity of the drill string.

It is expected that drilling will resume in three to four days and the primary objective will be intersected within 48 hours of the resumption of drilling.

The proposed total depth for the well is 3810 metres.
