GV11 in the process of opening

10:50 am local

Energized GV11 motor for another 500 rpm as we very slowly pull the gate o-rings away from sealing surface to open valve. So far it has moved a total of 2000 rpm. Historically it takes three rounds at 1000 rpm to completely pull the o-rings from surface. In ~ 1 hr we will go another 500 rpm. 

Annulus piping is valved out from aux cart and pumping solely on its AIP.
