I'm off today after lunch...
The last few days have been busy. After the Russian company did the CBL, the drillers cleaned the hole out, which was supposed to finish at 4am. Schlumberger were supposed to arrive in the evening, so that everyone could get some rest before logging at 4 am. I slept in the work unit so they could let me know when they arrived...what an awful night. I woke up every hour, everytime getting a little more worried about what might have happened-had the lorry fallen off the road? I got up at 5 as I couldn't sleep anymore, and after sorting out the daily geological report, traipsed bleary-eyed along to the DSV. The second he saw me, he said "you must be wondering what happened to Schlumberger" (to be read with a strong Texan accent).
Turns out their lorry broke down twice, and they had to wait for a replacement to come out from basecamp, which takes hours. The drivers were really tired and went to sleep. So they all only turned up at 11:30, which luckily for them was just in time as the drillers here had been a bit delayed.
After all that, the logging job actually went fine, although they lost communication with the logging tool for 15 minutes and had to shut down all the power in the logging unit.
The engineer was a different one again, Fabio from Brazil, and he was also very friendly and helpful. Everytime I do a logging job with these guys I feel I have learnt a lot.
It took a while to get the results through because of SLB logistics issues so I only got to bed at 1 am...yesterday I got up really early again to interpret the log data. I caught a couple of hours' sleep in the afternoon and again went to bed at 1am. This morning up at 6am...with the surprise of another Russian log in the next well, which I hadn't planned for. However, I am all packed and ready to go, and all the work is finished.
Exhausted but happy!
