All the plans for testing are in place if they stay within the limits on site however they can truck away a lot to keep it down to the limits if gas is good it will be piped to the main line supplies
when the well is allowed to go into production but excess oil can be trucked away each day while testing. but who cares the wressle will be producing from Jan 2020 or before at 500 barrels a day got to be 150 a day for UJO 27% approximately. West newton will come on line later the same year.

Given the uncertainty of the hydrocarbon composition, and to ensure that Rathlin has the appropriate consents in place, an application has been submitted to East Riding of Yorkshire Council for a Hazardous Substances Consent which would allow for the storage of up to 199 tonnes of crude oil which falls in category P5b.
The Hazardous Substances Consent would not be required if controlled quantity thresholds are not exceeded. This is 50 tonnes for oil with a composition classified within category P5b.
During the well test, any gas flowed to surface will be incinerated onsite in an enclosed burner and any produced oil will be transported by a licenced haulier to a local refinery.
The well test should take approximately 4-8 weeks to complete. Initial works to set up the well test will be undertaken during daytime hours (07:00-18:00) and the flow testing operations will be conducted 24 hours a day.
