The well is inclined, S-shaped. The inclination starts at 1000 m in the Jurassic deposit zone. To prevent loss of stability of the well walls, the NDDM ("non-dispersing drilling mud") is going to be used while drilling this interval as it was used on a previous well.
After Ø245mm casing, well will be transfered to OBM Witer II
