Jacko Bore (Santos operator) will certainly be that case, with plans for a long Horizontal through the reservoir, in my experience , long H laterals
usually 5 to 12 times the flow rates of a standard Vertical well in the same field. The longer the HL , the more exposure to the reservoir, some in
the USA now 8000ft long, standard norm was 250, 500, 1000, 2000, then new tech etc gave them even bigger. 3000/4000 became the thing.
Then a little while ago, the 6000/8000 started appearing.
Think Jacko was down as a 500 provisionally on Santos data , when read a while back.......guessing the final HL length will be decided nearer
the time, after further analysis of seismic etc, to maximise cut through reservoir pay zone/s......GLA
