RE: MATD ARE AN OIL PRODUCER 🛢️💰🛢️💰26 Oct 2024 15:06
HAMM, i was not drilling nor completions engineer, i was QA/QC for oilfield equipment but i did spend much of my time at onshore well locations where i inspected drilling, completion and lifting equipment etc etc so the following are my thoughts only, as we now know MATAD confirmed total cost for drilling/well test / completion and ancillary costs to be 4 million, i think this is quite high, probably due to limited options in the companies in Mongolia that can do the work, certainly in Africa cost were nowhere near that for onshore desert wells, i am speaking Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Nigeria, for info i contacted PM about the costs but got only stock reply that well costs were "low cost operations by any industry standard", i replied disagreeing with that but they did not reply back.
I believe H2 will be commercial but with a lower flow rate than H1, H2 RNS states " there is net oil pay within it of more than 5 metres" this is less than we encountered at H1 hence the guess of lower flow rate (but who knows, well test results are imminent so we will know soon, quite possibly next week).
Gobi, MB is giving nothing away, RNS for GOBI states "confirmed a total of 34m of reservoir quality sandstones within a gross interval of 70m ", so the formation might be tighter resulting in less oil show, fracking may well be the way forward, case of wait see, as stated, these are my thoughts only.
