You can't just un-choke the well-head. The reason for flow rates analysis, and why it takes time is so that they can find the ideal pressure build up behind the well head to be consistent with an optimal flow output!
If the choke was completely removed, then the pressure build-up from the reservoir could fall and the higher than 1100bopd would not be sustained
I'm assuming due diligence has been done to get a rough FR for 1100Bo/d since the word 'around' was used in reference to 1100bopd. But it could also be said that they could do a longer period of flow testing to find a higher that 1100Bopd rate, but current 1100 is minimum!
