"It’s the Achilles heal (sic) potentially"
I disagree. The water issue has been done to death by RT, right back to 2016 when I posted an email here from him, and again and again at various presentations. The EPS is producing perched water, with no signs of aquifer water. It's sorted, put to bec ; if the cut goes up or down a bit its of no consequence..
The only issue not clearly addressed, at least on Warwick, and mb on Lincoln too, is connectivity. WD cast doubt on that for Warwick ; WW has only partly dispelled those fears.
But on Lancaster, the EPS has pretty much proved connectivity, with PIs of over 200 and 6 months of continuous being, imho, pretty conclusive. production,
We will have to wait for further info on Warwick ; the RNS says a further update later this month on the EPS, at least.
Fwiw, I agree with much of ronok's separate post ; too much is being read into a low natural flowrate. of course its disappointing I wasn't 10,000bpd ; but Dr T did touch on cleanup issues at the RGS,. There are particular issues with FB which do not apply to a sandstone reservoir ; it is much harder to drill the well safely and then rapidly clean it up for a flowtest when your drilling mud has quite deliberately blocked the very fractures you need to flow.
I'm happy to give HUR the benefit here, roll on the CMD for some clarity on this.
