Interesting post. I was going to post on lemon-fool (but dont have account). Perhaps DSPP can reply here ?
If one well is dry and the other one wet then of course the water content will increase with production. Why ? Simply - because you need to draw more oil (and thus water) from the wet well to increase production. This may not be bad news : it is possible that the wet well has encountered a pocket of perched water which will deplete over time (however I am not a geologist).
Without full data it is simply impossible to second guess what is happening : however the fact the 2x wells apparently have excellent pressure communication, but one remains dry, is surely a positive (
All problems on Cairngorm can certainly be traced back to the funicular construction in 2001. The huge sums of money invested by HIE meant that the train had to be a success. The project was flawed from the very beginning – the VMP means you can’t exit the top station in summer, therefore limiting repeat summer custom. With the lift company unable to pay the funicular debts the removal of skier up-lift was their flawed answer to cost cutting. However core lift policy simply limited their ability to make money from skiers when it did snow. An absolute shambles.
Without the funicular it appears very likely that Cairngorm ski area will suffer a slow painful death. Repairing the funicular, at huge cost, doesn’t address any of the underlying problems nor make the company profitable.
