That's over 100bpd. Can't be us? Shirley?

UD2 was a managerial faux pas. All part of the learning curve for someone suddenly thrust into the limelight.

UD2 results though, although disappointing, were far from disastrous.

Not that I've been to. As Billy said, his performance over the last 12 months has been admirable in my book.

Noloss, Tuppence ha'penny in old money is 1 new "p" lol. We've only had decimalisation for about 47 years. You must be getting used to it by now?

😂

As has been said a number of times today, ZZ would not hold a meeting early October if there wasn't good news afoot.

He's got to have all the aces.

😂

I call him Dumb bell

lol

Thanks for your input, no jog on.

They just keep coming and coming.

Well spotted.

Somethings afoot Holmes.

About 12 inches Watson.

I'll bring that bag of shoite you call a Memory Stick and you can throw it in the Thames.

Nothing better on a Monday morning to get the blood pumping than a FRR RNS.

lol. Always said, best game of snakes and ladders on AIM.

Lady mapp, one lump or two? 😀

What a t' do.

we might have a little trek north tomorrow? We may even be given a little news to whet the appetite. Less than 12 hours to go, set your alarms people :)

At this stage, it will be all manual control at the well head. No point in spending money automating things at this point............IMO.

I only worked on gas fields, that produced gas condensate as well (wet gas as FRR call it)

But I guess they behave the same way as oil fields. so here goes. Crude oil contains lots and lots of different hydrocarbon chains. Gas can be entrained in it too, as we see there is a lot of entrained gas in zone 19. Think of oa bottle of fizzy pop. You can't see the gas in the liquid until yo utake the top off and reduce the pressure inside the bottle. As soon as you open the bottle, CO2 gas bubbles start to form and some of this gas is liberated out of the top of the bottle. The remaining CO2 in your pop remains unseen, but its still there. You drink it and result is, you end up burping, cos you are full of gas. lol

Crude oil contains all the different oils we need in life and industry. Petrol, paraffin, diesel, naptha, lubricating oil, heavy oils, natural gas etc and all these different hydrocarbons are produced from crude at the refinery.

Zone 19 contains oil with a lot of entrained gas, as opposed to zones 14 and 15. When you take the top off zone 14 and 15, the bottle can soon become flat (unless other geolicial forces act on the rocks), whereas zone 19 has a lot of high pressure gas to keep the oil flowing.

Not sure if this makes any sense at this time of night lol.

The JT effect is temperature reduction as pressure is reduced. Not really a problem I don't think, with oil. Obviously the oil will get colder and more viscous, but will gain heat again as it rises up the well bore. JT is a problem if there's any water about, especially in gas wells.

With regards to comingling all zones, yes this has been previously discussed. We can flow zone 19 alone until zone 19 pressure is around the same as 14 and 15, or we can fit a restrictor above zone 19, so that all zones can be produced at once, regardless of zone pressure.

Basically, yes. you've got it all wrong lol.

Prior to the three well drill, I would guess that all of FRR's producing wells were pumped wells i.e. no choke, as all producing wells will be coming from zones that have insufficient downhole pressures to free flow. Hence the 160 bpd.

Now we have entered 3 high pressure zones, 14, 15 and 19. All with downhole pressures in excess of 6000 psi and all able to free flow oil to the surface. The reason the oil has to be choked back is prevent excessive oil flows from the well bore, which can ultimately kill the well if left to free flow for any long period of time. A choke is just a valve, which can be opened or closed as required to suit production requirements. It's very easy to adjust a choke, just like opening and closing a tap :)

The operating costs are negligible compared to the cost of the drill. The field is manned with operators anyway. It just means they have to collect more oil on their shift, compared to the normal 160 to 180 bbls a day.

Great posts today, great research and great theories. Will it all translate to a blast off on Monday?

Here's hoping 🍺
