    Subject: RE: Thursday AM update Importance: Normal Did not see anything that correllated directly to the Rigel well but lots of thin sands and silts. Lots of gas 3000+ units. Probably drilled one stand too far trying to cover up a sand near bottom. Announcement is supposed to be today. Thanks and see you Monday, David

    From: Sims, David C To: Rich, David A; O'Bryan, Patrick L; Waters, Frank; Sprague, Jonathan D; Holt, Charles A; Frazelle, Andrew E; Little, Ian Sent: Thu Feb 18 07:13:30 2010 Subject: Thursday AM update Horizon update on Macondo (MC 252 #1) No injuries or environmental incidents. Had one incident early this morning with the starboard crane that were still investigating. While booming up, the crane boom came into contact with the steel frame of the Schlumberger wireline unit. Nothing fell, no damage to the crane, but some minor damage to the frame of the wireline unit. Had MMS visit yesterday - No warnings or INCs. Since last update. we performed a LOT on the 18" shoe and did not get adequate frac gradient to drill ahead so squeezed the shoe. Upon drill out, got an 11.8 ppg EMW shoe test and drilled approximately 3,300' to 12,350' which is the 16" casing point. Increased MW to 11 .5 to control high gas and prepared to drill 30ft more rathole when returns were lost. Pumped LCM pill and regained circulation with minor losses. Currently: Circulating and conditioning mud and hole in preparation to run 16".
