RNS on flow rates will be tuesday.28 Mar 2024 11:43
Tuesday i think will be the day. Remember us O and G workers base our time on our trips 2 weeks /3 weeks etc. The fact it is a bank holiday Friday and Monday i think they got caught out.
We work every day 365/24 hr. So holidays can be forgotten.
Also delays are not necessarily bad news. I left a job 3 weeks ago with 1 week left on the planner before completions. They just finished drilling today, so a 2week delay. No dramas just natural slippage and the fact the planners always are best best case , for logistics and personal.
So the question is as always that we have to be patient, i am in with a 0.3p average and to be honest nothing changes until we get the news.
It always makes me laugh with people being dramatic about delays.
Lets hope we get some good news in Flow check 1st reservoir before we move to the 2nd reservoir target to test.
When they run the test tool and inflate the packer to isolate the reservoir. Once they reduce the pressure to get the influx that initial pressure build up will give them indications even before they circulate out the fluid under controlled conditions. You basically inducing a kick in controlled conditions ( amounts and pressure) .
Now when they circulate that our they can extrapolate a volume vs time and a quality of oil can also be tested, water vs oil for example.
Alaska is a controlled flare zone as mentioned but sometimes oil plays do not flare much anyways if it was allowed.
