Kas, You can also read this from another companies RNS. Some will know who it is. I have slightly edited a line and added a bit in brackets in case anyone comments:

· As previously announced, the low production rate indicates that the reservoir near the wellbore has been invaded with drilling fluids which are restricting flow rates. This is not uncommon in situations where hole stability issues (formation damage) have occurred during drilling due to the use of high-density drilling fluids to stabilise the hole.

· The Company has now commenced sand jetting operations with a coiled tubing unit to stimulate the well. Sand jetting will focus on the oil-bearing reservoirs.

· Sand jetting technology uses a high-pressurised sand slurry with the objective of creating deep perforations beyond the zone invaded with drilling fluids. The expectation is that these deeper perforations will increase communication between the oil-bearing reservoir and the wellbore, and therefore increase production rates.

· The sand jetting operation is expected to take 10 - 14 days, including the time required to re-install the rod pump and recommence production.

Sand jetting is just a different way of perforating the pay zones. There are plenty of articles online showing it better than I can explain.

Perforating guns use explosives to fire them into the zone to be tested. This is a method used all over the world for many wells. In this instance they have not penetrated deep enough. Why they chose these gun sizes is a different matter.

If you look at BCEs recent rns they will also be using sand jetting perforations to improve the area of flow and reduce blockages that didn’t clear perfectly with standard perf guns.

Another option for cleaning up holes is acidizing to remove debris and blockages. But not necessary in this situation.

It could also be that they are still continuing but just need less equipment once perforations complete. They could also have closed the wells in and are performing down hole pressure measurements with results in the coming days/ weeks. They could also leave this until sand jet testing.

I wouldn't be certain exactly where they are with testing until the RNS lands.

19th pass shows less to little equipment on MOU-1. Have they finished??

Rig was with SDX September/ October last year so more likely to be stored over that way. But could be anywhere as unsure exactly where star valley store it and it is now being used with 3 different companies and areas.

I'm never sure that the link will work with the correct settings as I am viewing them. Much better for someone to load it up themselves and put it into context with the rest of the overall picture.

I try not to use copernicus. So Vegas I couldn't answer your question. But sounds like you know what you are doing. Linear gamma is good for identification and then refine with other filters to build up an overall picture.

Sorry, been busy.

As I said use the radar satellites rather than the visible ones. Try Sentinel 1. They are all available on the same links you use already.

I've done this satellite checking for years. The TXP boards and discord know me. And I'm fairly sure I was the first (or one of the first) to identify the MOU-1 location when it appeared. Also done it for other companies drills.

Going back to MOU-1 and testing. I remember some time back GRH (and others) mentioned the possibility of testing both MOU-1 and MOU-3 at the same time to prove the structure. I wonder if they will do this...

I have always used radar along with visible to confirm things. As dark patches on a pad could just be water or mud. The radar confirms whether it is something substantial or not and builds a better picture.

We are lucky with Morocco as they have several passes a week from different systems. Some places you may only get them every fortnight.

Hopefully they are still there on the next visible pass. However, if they are not it would then suggest testing has finished.

Keith, try using radar rather than filtered visible satellite.

Todays pass has also just popped up in last half hour. Which confirms that they have been there on consecutive days.

If you want a visual confirmation you may have to wait for the next pass of that system and pray that there is no cloud.

Yes. Not making it up. All fact.

There is more than one satellite system.

Happy that they are finally at MOU-1 after all these years

They've moved to testing at MOU-1 now. First action there in ages! Equipment showing on site.

Satellite image could be coincidental and the local farmer has had an irrigation leak caused by a truck running over a pipe.

I'd rather go on the information the company gives. I was not expecting anything this week with the parties involved.

I did say when they announced the redrill RNS that it would be late February before any action in the Paradox.

These permits just take so long. They have ones that are still outstanding after over a year.

Hopefully can announce a rig contract in the next few weeks with a spud date around Easter to get things moving again.

Finally approved....

Zephyr Energy plc (AIM: ZPHR) (OTCQB: ZPHRF), the Rocky Mountain oil and gas company focused on responsible resource development from carbon-neutral operations, is pleased to announce that it has received state and federal Sundry Notice approvals for the amendment of the drilling permit related to the forthcoming "twinned" redrill of the State 36-2 well (the "State 36-2R well"). These are the final regulatory approvals required for the Company to spud the State 36-2R well on its project in the Paradox Basin, Utah, U.S.

Zephyr will now move to execute a rig contract and will update the market on the expected timeline for the spud of the State 36-2R well upon award of the contract. Bid processes for other major services are also underway.

The State 36-2R well's main objective is to target the same Cane Creek reservoir natural fracture network which was successfully intersected by the State 36-2 well last year. The Company expects to recover substantially all State 36-2R well drilling costs under the well control insurance policy that it has in place for the State 36-2 well.

If it is located there it is certainly convenient for the road again.

If you go back to January the same outline appears. So think that has been rain affected and highlighted more.

That much water on the entrance road to MOU3 site may have restricted the testing schedule for a few days. Hopefully it just pooled to the side.

Not sure what equipment you are on about at MOU2 as not much there.

To add to my observations on the radar view from the 9th.

It looks as though there was equipment along the road leading up to MOU-1. Now, I don't think they'd need to 'park' equipment there. So maybe it is a road team preparing the track after being unused for so long...

Monday I think...

Typical! Full cloud white out on latest visual pass.
