By the end of today we logged to a depth of 1884.4 ft, 78.7 ft deeper than at the time of the last blog post. For perhaps the first time in the logging, we recorded more than two consecutive ʻaʻa flows. Such an observation is significant because it really shows how dominant pahoehoe is in the region beneath the drill site. I hope to share data soon on both the number and overall thickness of pahoehoe vs. ʻaʻa units.
As of this afternoon, the casing cement job is complete and the cement inside the casing has been drilled out. The drill crew is ready to advance downward with the HQ-sized bit to a goal depth of over 6000 ft. We will commence 24/7 drilling operations tomorrow.
