Whilst only 5 wells were spudded last year (2 at HH) and none this year we don't get told about oilfields that require a rig carrying out workovers/maintenance of wells. Not all can be done just using a crane.

What expectation do you have for them producing gas from the Portland at Loxley given that the Portland gas at HH appears to have dried up?

Penguins
I wonder what this means? "Reinjected produced water volume (m3) 1,572,640.60" Of course they re-inject the water back into the reservoir. How else do you think they maintain 52k tonnes a month production which equates to about 12,000 bopd.

Is producing water. Why should HH be any different? The amount varies and in some cases can be as much as 10 parts water to one part oil. Wytch which is basically an offshore field produces far more water than oil so HH is quite lucky.

"A simple question. Why not drill a new Kimmeridge horizontal well at HH"

They would need to drill a new sidetrack into the Kimmeridge, core it and log it. They would then need to carry out analysis of core and logs before they could decide where to drill it.
Sounds easy but takes time and money.

penguins
Would you drill a horizontal well into the Kimmeridge without coring it first? Where would you dril? KL0, KL1, KL2, KL3, KL4 or KL5?

WSCC have got it together.

Not necessarily all salary if you read the RNS correctly. It does not specify salary.

"These include a significant cut of 20-50% to Directors' remuneration"

Remuneration includes salary, pension, bonus and share based payments so don't get conned into thinking it is all salary.

And yet you don't get that many jokes about Scun thorpe do you!

Basil Brush
Wressle is near S****horpe which is nowhere near Surrey. I am sure North Lincolnshire Council will be glad that SCC are now paying the bill.

So how are they going to get rid of the gas from HH-1 then? They can't start the new ground works as 2 planning conditions are still outstanding.

If you look at the bottom of the page it says Updated: 01 Jun 2020. No fool like an old fool!

Nearly all oil fields re-inject water. They vary from a ratio of 2 parts water for 1 part oil upwards.

This is the biggest onshore oil field producer and look at the latest figures.

Why else would they have the pump on site?

Novomet horizontal pumping systems (HPS) use electrical submersible pumping (ESP) technology in surface applications ......surface pumps are quickly becoming the standard for common applications like fluid transfer and water injection.

ocelot
So why would they bring a NOV Horizontal Surface Pump onto site? Something for the kids to play with?

"Retention and extension of an existing well site, HH1 and HH2 wells, and vehicular access to allow: the drilling of four new hydrocarbon wells and one water reinjection well; the construction of a process and storage area and tanker loading facility; new boundary fencing; well maintenance workovers and sidetrack drilling; and ancillary development enabling the production of hydrocarbons from six wells, for a period of 25 years." Has been approved subject to 2 outstanding Conditions.

There is no HH-1Z. HH-1 was all you got.
