For those that may have missed board member Pusher2's excellent posts at the weekend, here are a couple of them that explain the process the company will be working thro':
From my industry experience, I would say initial production stability timeline is not really dictated by the gas being produced.
The greatest likely influence affecting any stability is liquids slugging up the wellbore along with the gas, meaning mainly condensate. Slugging fluids play havoc with wellhead pressure stability, and it only levels off once further upstream for separation.
What will likely happen is the fist few days or even weeks of production will see much higher condensates being produced until the near well reservoir built up liquids deplete a bit. which in turn reduces slugging and promotes stability at surface.
Condensate is good for us also, it all goes to market, but it will likely make it more difficult to get good stability. Some of the effect can be reduced by choking back the well but that would in turn reduce production. So I suspect they will flow it harder to get more of the built up condensates lifted out and get higher gas productivity and stability faster.
On top of that, they will learn a lot from initial productivity from this well prior to opening up the next well, including by helping the next well stability by this initial likely unloading of excess condensates.
Just my opinion, but likely, fairly normal and all bodes well for ANGS genuine holders.
And:
Hi Lemon, I would not expect them to flare off anything they didn't need too. meaning most of any flaring they do will in my opinion be when they have a shut down, which will initially divert to flare.
I would say the logic is to allow much of the liquids built up to unload through this early production and live with the declining havoc it might cause to sensors etc at surface.
Then once they get this well showing some stability they can bring on the 2nd compressor and 2nd well, and also in-turn they will have a little bit of luxury in being able to play with both well wellhead chokes, meaning for example, reduce the first well choke by say 20% and run the 2nd well also at 80% of it's capability, therefore reducing the condensate lift significantly and gaining much greater surface stability.
Again, just my opinion.
