"yup, standard practice to shut the well in and observe pressure recovery if its flowed... tells you how much "volume" there is behind the pipe... very generally speaking fast recovery to original pressure is good, slow recovery to less than original pressure is bad."
problem is that you get the near bore info very quickly but every metre you try and "see" further away the time taken goes
up exponentially - hence the 3 -4 week shutin we can expect
"you don't install a down hole pump, pump rods and the pump yesterday to shut the well in today and call the EWT over."
probably a mechanical problem with the pump.. it'l be really old like almost every other bit of onshore UK kit for hire

What lie have I told.
Adrian has reported that testing is over and the well shut in. If that is correct then it is all very strange, you don't install a down hole pump, pump rods and the pump yesterday to shut the well in today and call the EWT over.

Pboo,
Pete, why tell a lie, I really don't understand, has Adrian got to you that much?
It is reported that the shut in is for presure testing---so IMO all good news NOT bad!! and as you said--any problems would be price sensitive and warrant an RNS Calm down sceptics!!
Doesn't a problem have to be RNSd if it is that price sensitive ?
It is reported on twitter by Adrian and others that the well testing is complete and the well is now shut in.
If that is true then in my opinion they have problems down hole.
I think the testing continues and the OGA report is from when the well was drilled and then shut in awaiting this test.
I could be wrong just my opinion.
Crying over abit of common sense lmao
Maybe just maybe they haven't worked it out yet. Hence why they are ****ing working on it
BobDoff; Thanks for that. GP
I wouldn’t expect any detailed information being published until testing of WNA-2 is nearing completion. Appraisal of the field rather than individual wells is the name of the game.
Pom-poms not out for the lads, then.
Hi ddboy. You say "in oilfield terms this is taking way too long" but you then say that your experience of onshore UK drilling is very limited. Wouldn't it therefore make sense to rely on the operator's estimate of 6 weeks for the EWT? I dimly recall seeing this period mentioned in one of RBD's RNSs, and we are only about half way through the schedule. I'd therefore be quite surprised to see anything significant published about the EWT for a few more weeks, IMO of course.
Strange to be worried about Wressle , Mirasol. All is good and in line with the community minutes. My guess is they are mobilising now or about to. Squeeze in a week or so.
With Brent about to touch 76$ , that's a nice waheyy for David. Fed back tracking on their interest rate rise and demand an supply not knowing its @rse from it's head due to the green brigade, us and Saudi Arabia are gonna win the Euros here.
Wressle seems to be taking forever - the EWT I'm not so worried about - it would be 6 weeks MINIMUM - a lot depends on what they see when they run the test.
When you have something of note you want it to be out there to prove the boo boys wrong but when it is not going to plan you clam up !!
Lets hope this is not the case here as in oilfield terms this is taking way too long.However my experience of onshore UK drilling is very limited and i would like a decent payday for all PI's.
