· During the test, the well averaged rate-constrained daily rates of 716 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boepd"), with rate-constrained highs of 1,083 boepd achieved with limited pressure drawdown.
· Initial simulation modelling suggests possible plateau rates of 2,100 boepd are possible when the well is fully equipped and no longer rate-constrained.
o The test was rate-constrained to minimise flow assurance issues from salt deposition in the well bore. Future flow assurance issues are expected to be mitigated when the well's final completion equipment is installed.
· Gas rates are substantially higher than expected, with modelling suggesting the well is capable of production plateau rates of 10 million square cubic feet of gas per day and 500 boepd of liquids.
Unrestricted state 16-2 is 500 boepd of liquids. Unless they have found some way of coaxing the gas into a pipeline that would be a maximum. I’d expect it to still be constrained during the longer term test. Maybe 200 boepd liquids. Unless the gas reduces substantially or they have a plan (although nothing in the presentation still on the elephant in the room).
