What is expected in next few months10 May 2019 17:03
I wanted to wait until the water zone was isolated....but I will now repost a post from many moons ago.
Personally I have used the rate of 1,000bopd for expected flow rates during the commercial production test at Brockham. Set yourself a benchmark and then anything above it is a bonus. I've used 1,000bopd in reflection of what HH saw just from the Upper and Lower Kim layer tests in 2016.
It bodes well for an Angus SP rerate, as we are about to test the same formation that has been flowing 5miles down the road as the crow flies, as well as the interbedded shale. A highly deviated well sees more of the limestone than a less deviated well...trigonometry.
The added bonus is that Brockham was drilled specifically as a Kimmeridge producer with the correct hole size / drilling fluid, whereas HH wasn't due to it being an exploration well assessing multiple zones of interest.
That's a very interesting point as I've based my production rates solely on the HH 2016 test and not a standard production well with the correct sized hole and not including the additional hydrocarbons in the interbedded shale, so Brockham should see better flow rates than the HH 2016 test
Brockam isn't a horizontal well, so I will go for a conservative figure of 1,000bopd flow rates.
UKOG (actually Angus did it for them) flow tested their deviated well in both the Upper and Lower Kimmeridge back in 2016
Upper Kim KL4 perforated 88ft observing 901bopd
Lower Kim KL3 perforated 80ft observing 464bopd
So they perforated 168ft and observed 1,365bopd
Now fast forward to 2018 results from 30 days flow test:
Lower Kim KL3 perforated 83ft observing 342bopd (464bopd in 2016. So that’s a 26% decrease.
If we apply the same 26% decrease to the Upper Kim KL4.
Upper Kim KL4 perforated 88ft observing 901bopd in 2016 (estimate 667bopd using 26% decrease rate).
Add 342 + 667 and that gives you 1,009bopd from solely the 2 Limestone beds. Thats not including the fractured interconnected shale that acts like the pipework for the hydrocarbons. Not bad hey!!
Angus are perforating 200m or 656ft of Kimmeridge.
That is 4 times what UKOG did.”
Vonk says at 6min 44secs
“Brockham is a carbon copy of HH. Brockham is drilled as a Kimmeridge Producer. HH was never drilled as a Kimmeridge producer. Hole is too big and used the wrong drilling fluid to get the best out of the reservoir”

What is the difference between Brockham and HH?
Brockham is highly deviated with more exposure where as HH isn’t.
Brockham was drilled as a Kimmeridge producer with the correct sized hole for optimum production. HH drilled through Kimmeridge section with much larger hole due to well design assessing deeper reservoirs beneath it.
Brockham drilled with correct drilling fluid for producing from Kimmeridge. HH used wrong drilling fluid as deeper reservoir
I would say we lost max 1
