And it could have been even Higher?2 Oct 2018 10:10
The water produced was not expected, the Company’s testing team believes a small high-pressure
water zone was intersected in the horizontal section of the well which will require isolation in the
future.
Currently, the testing team believes the water production is not from the main Kimmeridge
Reservoir itself but through fractured communication.
To correctly identify the water zone, a Production Logging String was run on coiled tubing. Unfortunately, the coiled tubing equipment supplied by a third-party service provider, failed after the second test resulting in a delay.
Subsequently only two flow tests were performed before the test had to be concluded due to
planning restrictions. All the collected data is being further analysed and the company will provide
an update in due course.
The Company believes based on the results of this 7-day flow test, it can isolate the water
producing zone and establish commercial production under normal pumped production
conditions.
