On Friday afternoon, during a routine pressure test of the BOP we found a leak in a control line. To replace the control line the BOP has been pulled and repairs are underway. We expect to be back on full dayrate by the end of this week (approximately 7 days of downtime). There was no leak to the sea and the well is secure.
