GS going offshore.. destination?
...next will be ‘rate’
GS ‘mudding’ up, should be full soon — then back to AM.

I forgive you toooo - your posts are highlighting many issues with 'Experts', still more to go so keep posting! - so you are doing this BB a good service, for those on LSE only since 2014, the 'newbies' as you call us, we love you.
ps EF made two drop off - so leaking still.. 4Aces tomorrow.

My 4 aces to your 4 two...

‘=> EPS production data will be used to appraisal extent of Lancaster field...‘
AUK,
Let’s deal one by one, by Tuesday no one will be interested anyhow! RPS GLA CPR stated quite clear that because the current wells are so well connected that the extent of Lancaster Field can be ‘appraised’ by utilising the production data (from these ‘bad’ idea fork pattern wells according to you and ADVFN BB) - cumulative volumes and pressure data. Therefore no need to do appraisal drilling elsewhere in Lancaster before deciding to commit to FFD. No need to appraise Lancaster Contingent Resources and go straight to drilling producers delivering Reserves.
Comprehend?
AUK,
you seems only poster mentioning 'Experts' on this BB - did copy you Black Swan reference so you can see what he thinks about 'experts'. Information of AM hydrocyclones and efficiency at low oil cut was in EPS Environmental Statement report 2017; along with Lyon FPSO.
RPS GLA report also clearly stated first objective of EPS is:
1.Provide long term production data to confirm (a) productivity and (b) extent of the Lancaster FB reservoir to enable Full Field Development planning and sanction.
=> EPS production data will be used to appraisal extent of Lancaster field, not drilling more appraisal wells (ie more experimentation) - particularly below structural closure. Further 'experimentation' = 'out' trigger, post WD.
Your dislike of fork producers - ie drilling where you know the oil is commercially connected to main fracture system, has led to one of the most successful EPS operations that my 'limited memory' can remember! -- yet you are obviously not happy with the Cat. He is doing a great job on Lancaster RE. Are your forks mixed up with your spoons?
Re. LC, rates, 7Z encountered 13 fault zones (RPS GLA Report) so if EF needs a refill - >5300 BOPD should be the expected test rate - geology, we have been assured is same as Lancaster, with LC horizontal being drilled towards the near vertical Lincoln exploration well. EF only few hours away now.
Enjoy the SP rise next week - and lose the 'Expert' stuff, there are no exact FB WoS analogs, everyone is learning by experience - rest is in black and white thanks to HE reports etal.
EF left Aberdeen.
..quiet some of us are listening for losses, all BB very quiet, even boats with Aberdeen ‘mud’ just waiting..
...another Petrofac ‘clanger’, let’s hope they have organised enough ‘fluid’ - oooh yes send to right rig tooo. SP holding.. quiet before... hurricane.

Let's all hope topic of LC can finally start tomorrow, this fried SP and lack of RNSs is not helping anyone. SN can then sale into distant memory - a ghost ship, aboard just the wise Owl and a pussy Cat. Someone else can entertain tomorrow...
'..This treatment process may also be followed if the quantity of produced water is particularly low. There are lower limits imposed by equipment, below which they cannot maintain efficiency or ensure required specifications are met. Although there is some room for adaptations to be made in the hydrocyclone system, the produced water processing equipment described above will not be able to ensure the effective reduction of oil concentrations at very low volumes. As already explained, the volumes of water produced during operations in the Lancaster field are expected to be minimal, so this option may be followed if any water is seen at surface.' ..low water cut => poor AM equipment functionality.
...so after three cups of tea - plus few associated loo breaks => can export (option) PW from AM, and then may be re-injecting into Glen Lyon PWRI wells as more costly to environment to treat onshore! Are the PW to sea regulations in-place on AM? ...is oil being taken to Sullom Voe with Schiehallion oil? - still 18hours left; tick-tock, tick-tock, tick.
'.. in the worst case production scenario, where the levels of production are predicted to drop off within the life of the EPS development, produced water may be seen at the surface. This could happen if water was to break into the oil reservoir, which is very unlikely. ...It should be borne in mind that even under worst case predictions, produced water is only anticipated to appear in year 4 of the up to six year development and then decline again.' YEAR 4!
...'An application to discharge oil must describe the nature and quantity of the oil source, as well as details of any processes designed to reduce oil content of the discharge and methods for the monitoring and analysis. It must also provide a discussion of the potential options for treatment and discharge of the oil, justifying the selected route as the best available option.'
...'if it is encountered, the produced water will be processed to reduce the oil content and discharged to sea, with prior approval under the OPPC Regulations. Further details on potential oily discharges are provided in the respective sections of the project description (Section 3) and relevant impact section (Section 9).' has OPPC approval been granted?
Section 3: 'All produced water discharges will be treated to a maximum oil concentration of 30 mg/l on average.' ..'Prior to discharge to sea, the oil-in-water content of the produced water will be determined by an integrated analyser located at the outlet from the water coolers. The analyser has a divert system so, if the dispersed oil concentration exceeds 30 mg/l, produced water will be diverted to the vessels slops tanks.' ...'if the quantity of water of produced is particularly low. Discharges from the slops tank will be treated to attain an oil in water content of 15 ppm, in line with the relevant Merchant Shipping regulations, and the concentration and volume will also be monitored.'
Section 9 '..onshore treatment and disposal will be retained as an option in this case, for example, issues are encountered with offshore processing equipment (Section 9.6.4), the discharge of processed produced water to sea was considered to be the more viable option, both technically and economically.' option provided for worst case!
PLOT THICKENS!
' The new FPSO serving these BP operated fields, the Glen Lyon, has been designed to handle significant quantities of produced water. During the development planning stages, produced water was expected to increase steadily over the first 10 years of production to 45,000 m3 per day, and then remain at that level for a further 10 years (BP, 2010). However, the significant quantities of produced water expected prompted the design of a re-injection system, utilising water injection wells already in place. By being able to re-inject produced water from the outset of production, any required produced water discharges to sea will be intermittent and only associated with downtime in the system.'
..one last thought - may be it was bit of oil, taking it to Sullom Voe Oil Terminal. With no deal Brexit - Rotterdam would charge 5% tariff, so UK oil going only to UK terminal???
..off to practice my new sand wedge at the practice range!!
...may be there was fish too. Was wondering where they kept it having AM 'fished' for 3 months before achieving FOIL, & certification for tanker offloading of cause. Cannot find ES report submitted, re-send is still awake. Bit found was PW ok if below regulations.
SN should turn soon - or is it selling to Trump's team in Greenland?
