4. Pore Pressure:
 PP Engineer arrived 27/10/13
 Increase in estimated PP to 4632m to 10.8ppg EMW based primarily on Resistivity Deep log trend. Dxc data trend from 4600m parallels Resistivity trend
 Trace blocky rounded cavings seen at 4570m. No cavings below this depth
 Shale Density: 4610m – 2.04g/cc, 4620m – 2.22g/cc, 4630m – 2.0g/cc
 No connection or pumps-off gas events seen below 4592m, no drilling engineering events apart from static losses recorded at flowchecks

5. Biostratigraphy:
 1 x Biostratigrapher, 1 x Technician left rig 02/11/13
 Biostratigrahical analysis indicates a tentative Early Santonian age at 4620m. The overlying Late-Mid Santonian may be condensed or cut out

6. Comments:
 Top Petronia Group / Mudstone at 4564m MD, -4531.6m TVDSS based on interpretation from Subsurface Team
