Cautious and others - I believe you are being to cautious re your assumptions on flow rates from 16AZ
I have just watched the Phillip Dimmock interview of approx two weeks ago and in my opinion any flow rates during the initial testing period in April are a separate matter to the production testing flow rates.
Not withstanding the fact that production recommenced on the 11th July PD says that 16AZ actually started producing in June "stepping up the rate from the start" therefore in my opinion I believe the average figure of 295 bopd refers to either the overall production period from either June or from the 11th July but either way the flow rate was increasing over this period not decreasing. If 295 bopd was an average over this period then the rate at the time of the RNS would have been more than 295 bopd. Furthermore, Block stated that they intended to increase the production rate gradually from the time of the last RNS. Which ever way you look at I would be very surprised if the current production rates do not exceed 295 bopd by a reasonable margin.
Also, ref the recent communication from Block we should be producing and selling Gas from 16AZ to Bago by December at the latest.
Also, also, if Block have encountered any technical problems with 16AZ then hopefully they will put this knowledge to good use on well 38 and subsequent wells.
Al looks good to me.
