Kim should get a job in the oil an gas industry..so clever.
Interesting presentation but not current. It was pushing the 620bbl/day headline number for Mocc. It's caveated with Average Open hole flow rate. To most non oil and gas folk it could be confused as a likely sustainable production rate, which it isn't. Most countries regulate the rate you can flow at to a number which maximises total production and/or doesn't damage the producing formation.. . "Open hole flow rate in oil production refers to the rate at which oil moves from the reservoir through an uncemented, open-hole completion into the wellbore,"It's the theoretical maximum flow for an uncompleted well, and simply indicates that reservoir has decent porosity and permeability and is capable of flowing hydrocarbons into the well. As an analogy: You have a car capable of a theoretical top speed of 140 mph. Constantly running 24/7 at that speed will simply damage the engine and it won't last long before it becomes damaged and inoperable. What you need to understand is what is the speed it can travel which maximises the life of the engine, and that calculation is much less and may be 40 mph, declining as the engine gets older. 140mph may be a great sales pitch, but it's not a measure of its long term economic performance.
