So how has this developed since the 3rd Jan
No update if the increase of production is a viable prospect or not for 101
On commencing drilling of TLP-103, TLP-101, which was producing around 30 bopd at the time, was taken offline due to the proximity of the flare to the drilling apparatus. The Company has now upgraded and relocated the flare to enable production from TLP-101 to continue during drilling. TLP-101 has been brought back into production and has now produced an average of 55 bopd during a two week test period.
During the downtime, the Company engaged a specialist reservoir engineering company to conduct a full review of wells TLP-101 and TLP-102 which followed on from the stimulation exercise performed on well TLP-102, successfully conducted earlier in 2018. The results of these studies have shown connectivity between the two wells. Due to this connectivity the reservoir engineering company has recommended using TLP-102 as a water injector to enhance production from TLP-101.
Studies of this strategy by both the Company and the specialist reservoir engineering company predict that using a water injection system could lead to a rise in production from TLP-101 to up to 400 bopd. The Company is now obtaining estimates for the cost of this work and assessing the commercial viability of this project
