RealAnalyst - deep breaths. We haven’t started the flow tests...let alone the rig up. Just be grateful that we are now progressing.

mk1234 - the flow test will take 7 days and then you will have 2 months of the well being shut in (basically like closing a tap) and monitoring the shut in pressure.

After the flow test, the well will be simultaneously shut in (matter of minutes) and then the flow test equipment will be rigged down and the original plan was to then send it to Brockham to start the Extended Well Test there (plan to do both site tests back to back to save costs on mobilisation / demobilisation costs).

Balcombe is penciled in for 3 weeks (first equipment arriving on site.....7 day flow test....up to last piece of equipment leaving the site).

AJ10 - great reminder of the next cherry on the cake

Triumph - welcome to the Angus Board lol

Usual suspects are out to make their quick buck by scare tactics....

I do note there are a lot of posters on here who are new or rarely post on here......now why would folk suddenly question Angus bank balance?!?! If they have OGA approval....then their finances are healthy.

Angus are currently installing the environmental protective barriers as required by Environment Agency. We have seen equipment rolling in to the site.

Balcombe Parish Council have said that Angus is set to do the flow test in the last week of September ...that is still in Q3.

Angus don't need to put out an RNS everytime a LSE posters demands it. They will release an RNS when they commence the flow test.

So whats the purpose of all these placing posts. I suggest you check out the individual posters posting history....speaks volumes.

ART123 - You don't get OGA permission without first having the necessary funds to drill or test the well and more importantly deal with any unforeseen problems. Angus is waiting on EA approval for the membrane / bunds which are or have been reinstalled after being removed after the well was drilled.

Please do not try to make this an issue when its not.

Balcombe Parish website dated 13th September states:

Angus Energy have now informed us that they are progressing with site preparation this week, (installing an impermeable bund), and look to progress the actual flow test in the last week of September subject to final sign off by the relevant regulators.

imac1 - It’s shaping up to retrace the nice steady climb we saw this time last year to 36p.

Baits - the completion fluid left in the well prior to suspending the well will stop any hydrocarbons in large volumes from entering the well (Hydrostatic Pressure). 2inch coiled tubing will be run to bottom and the fluid will be displaced using Nitrogen. Reducing the hydrostatic pressure (column of fluid exerts a great force than formation pressure) will induce the formation to flow ...path of least resistance is up through the well to surface = $$$$$$$

DoneK - It's been almost a year since I have been excited by Angus....the potential for Balcombe is huge...a company maker!!!

I even added to my portfolio at this SP with it happening so soon.

Now the big difference between what UKOG did in the Upper Kimmeridge at HH back in 2016 and what Angus are going to do at Balcombe is the well angle and the perforation / exposure interval.

Horse Hills’ Upper Kimmeridge Limestone was only perforated for 88ft…..yes thats correct only 88ft of exposure and had stabilised dry oil rate of 901bopd.

Balcombe is a horizontal well and with its slotted liner (pre-drilled holes) is exposed to +/- 1,700ft of Upper Kimmeridge Limestone. That’s 19 times more exposure than at Horse Hill who observed 901bopd from only 88ft.

This will be the Wealds FIRST horizontal flow test of the Kimmeridge Limestone. Our competitors have only drilled exploration wells and still need to drill a production well which has caused them issues in the past (Broadford Bridge).

Vonks said “ If you go to the North, Horse Hill flowed about 1,200bopd in aggregated from 2 limestones in the Kimmeridge, but its thinning out to the North. If you go to the centre where Balcombe is, it is 50% thicker, it was depositioned at a deeper depth, the maturity is better, so the conditions to make are better, so Horse Hill it was great; at Balcombe it should be much better

Now Vonk says Balcombe is 50% thicker than Horse Hill, but in Angus Jan 2108 presentation it states 25%.

This presentation is great to summarise Balcombe and also has graphics to compare Balcombe Kimmeridge with other Fields including Horse Hill.

* Horizontal well drilled through best limestone in it thickest Kimmeridge layer in the centre of the Weald basin

* Received planning permission to switch it on

* Balcombe increased Angus Energy Energy by 3 times

* Angus now Operator at Balcombe

The great thing about Balcombe and Brockham is that both wells have been drilled and cased off. All that is required is for the Brockham to be perforated and then flow testing can commence. We won't have any potential headaches that UKOG had at BB due to not drilling the well correctly.

Balcombe is a quick 7day flow test operation
Brockham which will happen after Balcombe is an extended flow test, before crucially...turning the tap on.

Exciting times for all Weald Players.

Something’s brewing

A Flux Capacitor ;)

Thank you Admin for decluttering the board of the UKOG tit for tat on here.

I would much focus on the Balcombe potential than Vonk et al.

Number6 - Balcombe will be the Weald FIRST horizontal well test.....

Balcombes' Kimmeridge is 25% thicker than at Horse hill

Horse Hills’ Upper Kimmeridge Limestone was only perforated for 88ft in a near vertical well and had stabilised dry oil rate of 901bopd.

Balcombe is a horizontal well and with its slotted liner (pre-drilled holes) is exposed to +/- 1,700ft of Upper Kimmeridge Limestone. That’s 19 times more exposure than at Horse Hill who observed 901bopd from only 88ft.

Balcombe production well has been drilled and is ready to produce once the paperwork is in place....Our competitors have only drilled exploration wells and still need to drill a production well which has caused them issues in the past (Broadford Bridge).

So yes the flow rates will be much higher at Balcombe....and beat the records observed at HH.

We saw how the SP moved on the initial flow test at HH and again in the past week as they have geared up to commence a long term flow test.

Exciting times for all Weald Players!!!

Time to refocus on Balcombe after so many false starts…its truly worthy of a Hollywood movie.

So UKOG are about to do an EWT on their Kimmeridge play at Horse Hill, but they have already conducted a flow test back in 2016. These are the highlights from UKOG themselves.

* Based on the analysis of published reports from all significant UK onshore discovery wells, the Company concludes that the 901 bopd from the Upper Kimmeridge zone is the highest stable natural dry oil flow rate from a single reservoir in any UK onshore new field wildcat discovery well
* High quality Brent Crude produced: light, sweet oil (40 degrees API in Kimmeridge, 35-37 degrees API in Portland).
* Preliminary analysis confirms that the Lower and Upper Kimmeridge Limestone units are naturally fractured reservoirs with high deliverability
* Strong possibility for further optimisation and increased flow rates from all 3 zones in future development and production wells, particularly through the use of horizontal wells.

Now the big difference between what UKOG did in the Upper Kimmeridge at HH back in 2016 and what Angus are going to do at Balcombe is the well angle and the perforation / exposure interval.

Horse Hills’ Upper Kimmeridge Limestone was only perforated for 88ft…..yes thats correct only 88ft of exposure and had stabilised dry oil rate of 901bopd.

You could have just replied to my message rather than start a new conversation with my name as the subject....you do release you have to pay me royalties for every repost with my name in it lol

Doesn't take that long to set up and I would imagine we will be informed rather soon of activities.
