    BP engineers discussed pressure measurements taken at the Macondo well, which showed unexpected high pressures in two sand zones. The deeper measurement was taken 180 feet above the main sand zone drilled the previous day. There was a thicker sand zone just below that was difficult to measure due to tool failure. They noted total losses of 159 barrels of mud and questioned if lost circulation occurred in the two zones, as the higher pressures could indicate.
