Londoner, thanks for reply, makes sense.
F22 "..so you seem to be supporting both wells have a water cut?" I made no such mention, I am completely unconcerned by the water cut, as my post made clear. It is perched water so matters little.
I am merely trying to point out that lost production is lost production, so shutting in is not done lightly. It will only be done when technical/data necessity overrides short term revenue considerations. I know not everyone majored in accountancy, but this is a simple concept. Revenue is lost when you shut a well. "Catching up" with guidance is a budgetary nicety, it is not cash.
I am not "shouting louder", but I fear you are not listening. Please think it thru.
MCB55 "Lost production due to a shutdown is just lost revenue for this year! Technically it is recouped at the end of field life, so the loss is the time value of production now versus the same amount in say 30+yrs time, which to most people can be considered as nil!"
Your post reads ambiguously ; but if you mean that the recouped revenue in 30 yr time is without value today, I agree. HUR may not be here ; I almost certainly won't ; oil mb worthless. So for all practical purposes, it is lost.
