Penguins-- your thoughts on this scenario-
The T/O speculation has started,and David Lenigas is at the heart of it!
The best asset DOR have is these interests in producing wells
Doriemos Plc has a participating interest in the Lidsey Oilfield (“Lidsey”) in West Sussex of 20%
Lidsey currently produces 22 bopd from the Lidsey-1 well, which has been in production since 2008.
Doriemus Plc has acquired an initial participating 10% in United Kingdom Production Licence PL 235.
The Brockham Oil Field is located on licence PL235 in Surrey, southern England. The field was discovered by BP in 1987 with the drilling of the Brockham-X1 well. The field currently has average daily production of approximately 35 bopd from the Brockham-X2Y production well.
They are Angus wells [who sold all its HHDL shares so is neutral].
On Jul 15 DL tweeted:
I’m seriously looking forward to the day that the Weald has a number of Octupus pads all with 20 wells that are completely hidden from public view and each one adding lots of jobs jobs and more jobs to the UK economy. British oil for British jobs. Let’s see.
DL knows that it takes years to get a production licence, so by getting everyone under the banner of a company already producing they are over the major hurdle.
Note the phrase `hidden from public view`.

Some days it all completely comes together. . All in good time I can tell you all why. Work hard, believe in the long game and it eventually sees the moons align. Today is one of those days.
Now it all makes sense, the Weald players are now in unison
What a clever fellow Mr lenigas is.
More gas than oil. Hmm... 🤔
Penguins,
Yes the drilling fluid was oil based, that means they add a quantity of oil to the water, mud and other chemical drilling fluid. What they did not add was the potato starch. All of that oil based drilling fluid is then flushed out of the well with water and that is what comes out when flow testing starts.
FK,
Do you not remember DL telling the world that BB wasn't drilled with oil based mud like HH was?
Yes that's what I said, it flowed at 464 bopd. But why it flowed 50% water with the open choke is unexplained, except by DL saying it wasn't formation water.
I'm not scaremongering, just raising interesting inconsistencies.
Anyway it's late,
G night
Penguins what is the purpose of all this technical scaremongering. Thought we used benzonite bases drilling mud also wasn't the stable rate of 450ish dry oil ie no water. It seems to me you are up to your old tricks on here again recently. Regards to Walrus
Penguins- if the well does not fill quick enough then the pump will run dry and down goes your pressure. The pump needs a constant volume of oil to pump in order to lift the oil while creating pressure. The choke is used to optimise the pressure and whenit is wet oil, it can help reduce the water (is what I understand)
Who knows? See what happens at 8am. Night.
I would expect the gas generated may have played its part in lifting the oil without the aid of the pump to some extent.
Any thoughts about the gas? DL seemed a bit surprised about it or maybe the quantity.
MaxHSpringer,
and what does that have to do with a discussion about the choke and whether it was restricting flow.
The pump forces the oil that enters it up to the surface. It then refills and the same happens again. So it's the pump that supplies the pressure seen at the surface.
A pump can only pump if there is liquid there to pump. So, if the pump is bringing x volume up to the surface, the reservoir has to replenish the well in order for the pump not to run dry!

I noticed the variation in the choke and this is what I thought (part of an earlier post):-
The choke business is also odd in that is the choke quoted actually restricting flow. The rate of 352bopd quoted as being through the 20/64 choke was being pumped so isn't the pump supplying the pressure at the surface, not the reservoir?
Anyway there is no way if knowing if the choke was actually restricting flow so opening the choke might not achieve greater flow.
One thing to consider is that the first test of the KL3 at HH had a flow of 700bfpd, 50/50 oil/water with a 64/64 choke ie 350 bopd. Reducing the choke to 32/64 acheived a flow of 464bopd.
Of course big Dave L said the water was drilling fluid - he obviously had forgotten the drilling fluid was oil based.

#UKOG Not sure how many have noticed the variation on the choke. 2016 the flow rate was 350bopd with choke 64/64.
Y'days RNS states with choke size 20/64 acheived 352 bopd.
Much higher restrictions than 2016.
This is equivalent to 1120 bopd today if using 64/64 choke.
