The analysis of each test is available quickly, say 30 minutes, but it takes many tests to get a reliable trend. the expectation is it will be a rising trend so the initial testing doesn't mean much.
The nitrogen lift is beginning soon, may already be running, the whole process of recovering 4000 barrels of frack fluid which includes natural flow and gas lift is modelled to take 10 to 14 days
Key readings will be frack fluid flow rate and pressure during gas lift
Evidence of pressure support/reservoir contact
Ratios and volume of methane(C1) to heavier gases ethane to butane ( C2 through to c4)
Temperature rise in the seperator
The biggy volume of oil from the seperator
