Coring resumed after repairs on the Top Drive lubrication system motor. Core quality and recovery remain excellent. DVTP run was accomplished, however some problems resulted in the need for fishing operations and data loss. Both issues have been addressed, and DVTP operations will continue based on hole condition and formation condition.
