just a reminder, helps to calm the nerves17 Apr 2023 17:35
The well flowed at 2.1 mmscfd shortly after start up and flow rates have increased over the last 60 hours to 4 mmscfd with a near constant 30 barg wellhead pressure. The rate of increase has been linear and there is, as yet, no deviation in that rate of increase.
By way of context, deliverability from pre-existing wells has averaged around 5.4 mmscfd during the quarter and our competent Persons Reports of March 2020 and October 2021 set a P90 target just shy of 10 mmscfd for the plateau rate of flow from all three wells.
Throughout this period we have seen the steady removal of residual drilling fluids from the well and expect the clean-up to take several days before we reach the final deliverability.
Connection to the plant for gas processing and export is planned directly after the clean-up and we expect to realise the combined flow rates of all three wells later in the month.
