Cash, news flow, oil1 Mar 2020 23:48
Cash - We raised £2m in December. At the time we already had 'ample cash to fully fund its remaining 85.635% interest share of Horse Hill-2z ("HH-2z") drilling-related costs plus forward HH-1 and HH-2z production test operations'. I expect the fix hasn't been cheap even without a work-over rig but plenty of funds to see us through IMO. The intention is that final Tellerium payment of £1m is being issued in shares at the end of March.
HH1 Portland has been producing at 300bopd but we havent has any figures since the "routine intervention...to further optimise and increase the Portland production." HH1 Kimmeridge flowed at 300bopd, There are plans to "install a dual completion to enable HH-1 to produce from both the Portland and Kimmeridge oil pools are being formulated." I assume this hasn't been done yet but that's 600+bopd from HH1 alone once complete.
HH-2z - 1087bbls 'fluids' per day achieved prior to water shut off (and possible optimisation?) work. As we all know there is a good chance flow tests will commence this week.
Full production schedule and therefore by implication the CPR has been brought forward. There have been some positive news on that front - "Downhole pressure gauges also confirmed that HH-2z penetrated a near virgin pressure section of the Portland oil pool. This finding has likely positive implications for the magnitude of connected oil in place and recoverable reserves seen by the field's two wells. Determining the oil volume connected to HH-2z remains a key EWT objective."
Forward plan at HH is for "further infill production wells and a possible water re-injection well, are planned to be submitted as FDP addenda in the coming year once longer-term well behaviour is more comprehensively understood".
Plenty to look forward to and be positive about, even if we don't get an RNS tomorrow morning - I expect we wont but tankers will give us a good idea of what is going on.
"we are well on the way to delivering significant production at Horse Hill."
