Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, on delivering sector-leading returns for shareholders. Watch the video here.
Some of the comments on PVR drilling rig Icemax ,what they are doing and what they should do, It's like reading Comic's when I was a kid. I would say that 99% of people have no idea what so ever what drilling Oil/Gas wells is all about Or the structure of oil bearing strata.
One of the P.V.R observers says there was a lot of bubbles around the Icemax and wondered if they had hit Gas ??? If they hit Gas and had a lot of Bubbles Around the Rig they are in DEEP SHI... Time to call in the choppers.
JH77 you got in one, NO Flare, No Oil. But if they run diesel cushion they have to burn off diesel, If Oil They will flare for many Hr's
Running a flow test (D.S.T. ) is not a simple operation (1) will not run unless you have positive show, core/cuttings/side wall samples. (2) If cased hole you need to perforate, (3) Set Packer, R.T.T,S, Wire Line . (4) R.I.H. Drill Pipe, Sometimes run Diesel cushion. ( Reduce Hydrostatic Press ) ( stab into R.T.T.S.) (5) Open well and flow to surface Through choke and seperator To Flare boom, burn off .Flow for X no Hrs Observe Press, Shut In X no Hrs. Open and Flow Observe Pressure If no Press loss Very Good. Note This is not a 12hr job. Happy Day's
I was with PP66, After the B14 Fu.. Up I was on Workover all the time. Must have met up at some time? Hint I was the only ; Paddy Pusher: in Tananger Good Times ,No Fast Tracked Bullshitter's calling themselves O.I.M's. . I spend a lot of time in Thailand meet them all the time, Takes me about 5 mins to catch them out and trip them up. Good for a laugh it's like some of the comments. I wonder what Casing they set before drilling Druid, 13 3/8 my guess Had to establish M.A.A.S.P.. Have A nice Day
Hi Ajed, nice to come across someone with a a bit of knowledge. I was 10 yrs on Ekofisk 70's 80's did one Frac job with Hall B. Worked on B14 with Red Boots and Richard ( Red's Son in Law) another coverup I went off 3 day's before she blew, came after a week to work on kill. we were Lucky, Lucky. with regards Icemax and Slumb log's Salt Saturated water and Light Oil S.P.G very close,very hard to tell the difference unless you have some log's close by to look at. Gas is a very different ball game S.P.G. under 3. I really enjoy some of the comments
At least you know what R.K.B. means, we might have a similar background. R.K.B. was just to see if anyone had a clue. like T.V.D. and 0.052 Ha. Ha.
For all you drilling experts. Mud Wt or salt Water wt x T.V.D, x 0.052 = Hydrostatic Pressure from R.K.B.
All the big oil men on PVR chat Ha Ha none of them ever stepped aboard a rig in their lifetime. talking SH.... Why they not Flow Test?? Answer you cannot run a D.S.T in open hole must have cased hole. Normal drill to T.D. set casing or liner. Set packers perforate and test on the way out. When drilling rate of penetration, Samples of cuttings, also core samples will have been taken One idiot said they would be sending samples to Whitegate, another said the Icemax has Twin Derricks. they can drill two B.H. at the same time It's better than a Andy Capp.
Floating/Produce/Store/Offload.(FPSO) is the missing link in my last post. Helvic or Hook or any of the well's on Barryroe with a Subsea XmasTree
RePVR: there is nobody in PVR with any Drilling or Production experience for them to operate and produce Ballyroe is a joke I hope' If they had any production people they would have brought in an F.P.S,O, 3/4 years ago when oil was 100$ a Bbl. Sullivan sat on his ass working on his Phd while getting well paid.. A Joke
All waiting on Barryroe
