H2 poor flow rate almost certainly due to low reservoir permeability, fracking will allow more flow, quite a common occurance in oil wells, either way H2 suspended until next year season, good thing is the rig will not be required for fracking so we can get on with drilling H3, H1 is the real surprise, to quote the RNS ""Rate tests have achieved flow rates similar to, and in some tests, higher than the maximum 821 barrels of oil per day (bopd) rate recorded during the well testing operations in 2019"", great news and more than makes up for the H2 poor flow rate, we need to be drilling a few more wells (H3, H4, H5 etc) closer to and around H1 location.
Based on H1 results now the well has flowed for 3 weeks Heron field which covers 214 sq/km might turn out to be way more productive than we could ever have dreamed.
