RE: Flow testing21 Feb 2023 13:15
Dec RNS:
-wellbore is partially blocked with approximately 1,000 feet of frac sand which (i) has restricted tested flow rates due to the lack of contribution from the blocked section
- has necessitated a more CONSERVATIVE TESTING PROTOCOL in order to not exacerbate the blockage, which has resulted in a slower 'cleanup phase'.
- the well is flowing naturally.. at a rate of over 500 barrels per day ("bpd") of hydrocarbon liquids which includes oil, condensate and natural gas liquids ("NGL's"), as well as significant natural gas, from an estimated 4,000 ft of lateral.
-the well is still less than 40% of the way through cleanup phase, so potential exists for these rates to further improve.
Not only can we expect the increased rates from the previously blocked sections but improved flow rates from a less conservative testing protocol in the sections that are already flowing (?), however I dont know what this actually translates as on the ground? Different choke maybe?
