JJAL - LOL Yes - Obviously as in opening up the wells slowly, as in meant increasing the flow, but got distracted and typed choke...
Are you referring to the temporary flow-back kit V the actual production kit?
When we got there, the 4th new well baffled us initially (Domingo was busy talking to pipeline people) we were touching the pipes coming from the wellheads as could feel the heat on them all, but that one was cold.
The pipe coming from the 4th wellhead to the temporary kit was cold, and we previously heard all 3 of the second batch completed were on temporary flow back, but that was as it had just been cut over from temporary to permanent infrastructure. Sure enough feeling the pipe back to the prod kit, that was hot on that well also.
The initial 3 wells were already on the permanent kit at this point but had not reached IP yet, so as we left site 4 wells were already on the permanent kit.
The wells were initially sent back to temporary equipment to protect the newly finished permanent infrastructure, I believe it is in case excessive impurities/sand etc came back from the initial flow back was one of the reasons given.
The gas pipeline was completed shortly after we were there, as per the RNS, so the gas was obviously being combusted at that point. We could see that.
The electronic system - which was shown to us by Domingo, showed all 6 wells in flow back and the pressures, we could also see the oil going into the tanks and the levels of the tanks. The video footage shows the water trucks coming and going taking away the water.
There was no functioning export pipeline, the gas pipeline was just about to be connected, and it was since, hence the RNS.
Our oil is trucked out of site, as is the water, always has been.
The video footage is on twitter.
FYI - The location of the temporary flow back kit (which would be long gone now) was to be the resting place for the E10X Epiphany water processing units, just to fill you in on that little snippet of information also.
IP results are called when the oil flowing back is likely to have peaked, as mentioned above, 4 of the wells were already going to the permanent kit, but obviously still flowing back varying amounts of initial water with the oil increasing as they do.
IMHO - IP will be any day now and on target with what we expect.
(Hope thats clear but juggling a phone call while typing - so if any jibberish I'll try and explain better)
