Yes, I hate Friday rns’.
Given the magnitude of the reported shallow gas kick I suppose it had to be flow tested, however, it was high risk, because the shallow reservoir was not wireline logged, another cost saving measure.
With five wells drilled, and mou fan reservoirs and the shallow gas reservoirs failing to flow gas, maybe there is another explanation for failure to flow gas.
It seems to me that the reservoirs are relatively thin and located in a basin that’s undergone basin inversion, so the gas may have migrated during inversion and left behind residual gas, that shows as a gas show when drilling but needs to be flow tested to determine if there is sufficient reservoir volume to flow.
The drilling mud explanation at mou3 does not apply to the carbonates at mou4, and this should be flow tested before drilling the jurrasic carbonates.
Unfortunately, we are now very much further away from production cashflow, so I am expecting more pump and dump equity dilutions.
