It's not over yet though. Even if the hydrocarbon returns and /or flowback from the reservoir turn out to be less than optimal, there are further 'completion' activities that can be performed to enhance. The well needs to clean up carefully, get rid of the debris and any sand injected to leave the opened-up fractures free from obstruction. If it doesn't clean up well enough on its own they can chuck a bottle of bleach down the hole and acid wash under a low pressure squeeze to dissolve and get that sand out. There would be other tactics available to improve flow, connectivity etc depending upon what happens over this testing period. It's not over until it really is over, but that's just looking on the gloomy side. It could just clean up on its own and be ready to go straight into production once all infastructure is ready.
I'm still out, one might say chickened out, but that is really a personal matter having lost plenty on dead cert oil wells in the past. Keeping an eye on it though, maybe next week for a further interim, which is more likely if they have a material improvement over the word 'modest'.
