from vid KN-1, ( they're unloading water as much as they can). so what does that imply?
they need to plug the upper perforations first to stop water ingress, then unload water from well and then perforate the lower zone.
or can they perforate lower zone first before plugging the upper zone and unloading water from well, and then let the assumed virgin pressure force water from the well.
I think, Aminex were hoping, believing, the KN-1 remediation work would be successful and quicker, but when apparent that was not to be the case, then a small fund raise became necessary.
it looks like the meeting with ARA Ndovu and officials from the Tanzanian Government, was more to do with the development licence/programme, so it would seem that the farm-out is a done ?
"the executive management teams of ARA Petroleum Tanzania Limited and Ndovu Resources Limited have met with officials from the Tanzanian Government who reiterated their support for an accelerated development programme to fast track gas production. "
from Orca's Operating and Financial Highlights, the (additional gas ) is the gas that Orca has the right to sell in the market via the old SS gas plant. I believe the price that Aminex and Wentworths get for gas sold to TPDC is US$3.07 per mcf); like I said before we do not know what price was agreed by Orca and TPDC to supply gas in that short term agreement, but I think we can understand why its a short term agreement.

yes, only perforate the top part of the lower zone, as the water will rise a gas is drawn off so the water will rise, as we've experienced in the top zone. I think
yes I think they did think it was one zone without the impermeable layer, what do you mean Drewky "The data from 2d is not as reliable as from 3d so may be a factor" ?
