Angus have 3 wells to surface out of a possible 6. Yes you can use the existing well subsurface infrastructure to drill sidetracks and turn them in to Kimmeridge producers.
The best well to sidetrack would be the BRX3 well, which BP originally drilled and has now become a water injector. Whether they drill out of 9 5/8" casing, drill 8 1/2" hole, run 7" liner before drilling the Kimmeridge with a 6" hole before running liner and complete.
It would take approximately 10 days. Angus only pay 65% of the well costs. So it wont be a costly outlay.
Angus will perform the EWT and from those results plan the best location for the sidetrack well.
HH was drilled as an exploratory well. I am actually quite surprised with the flow rates they observed back in 2016, due to the hole section being 12 1/4” in diameter. Normal production well is either 8 1/2” with a 7 “liner or a 6“ hole with 4 1/2” liner
The reason HH was designed and drilled that way was because they wanted to assess multiple zones deeper than the Kimmeridge. So that stands us in good stead considering we have the correct infrastructure in place.
