Finally we are going to get a flow test, after 30 months since the completion of mou 1 and three fundraising to start the process, and if we don’t do the flow tests and file the well reports by 5th February then the renewal of the licence conditions will not have been met.
Seems like onhym want this done asap as well.
There will be approximately 25 meters of reservoir in total from three wells to be tested. The previously advised reservoir sections totaled 150 meters so what’s going on.
The agreement with gas offtake partner has a limit of 50 mmcf per day for cng, but that’s unlikely to be achieved as the market needs to grow to accolade such volumes. 25 meters of net reservoir should generate circ 28 to 30 mmcf per day, more than enough to get into strong production cashflow.
However, prd announced the start of an environmental impact study which is a pre requested for a concession licence, this took chariot 12 months to complete and get approval. During that time prd has to get the funds to build the cng compression facilities and it expects to be able generate funds from the production licence in T and T to do that.
I don’t fully understand Tand T economics and have not studied it in depth, so I am assuming there is logic to that.
At the heart of the valuation problem with prd is that the nuetech report states that many of the reservoirs are probably gas, not definitive.
Now if prd had paid the funds for sidewall cores and gas and fluid sampling of reservoirs then such ambiguity could have been addressed earlier. So now 30 months later we will get flow test data from the wells and hopefully this can be used re calibrate the electric logs and hopefully then have an independent expert to confirm the 150 meters of reservoir that prd have previously suggested are gas bearing.
So sometime next year, hopefully in h1, prd will drill three wells, two of which are to drill the shallow sands with high gas readings in mou 3 , oh why did they not pay the money and log such reservoirs, now they have to drill two wells , a false economy. Plus the much anticipated jurrasic which reported 2 meters of gas but is being evaluated for oil source rock, I am confused.
The guercif licence area is only 4 km from a major pipeline, prd should flow test the remaining reservoirs by sand jet asap and proceed to plan for gas to power gas sales for higher volumes.
