What a day that was!!19 Jan 2023 17:08
The first I do when reading an RNS is look at the first paragraph to see whether it says pleased or delighted to provide an update, it was not there, so the palms got sweaty. However, as I read and re-read the RNS it became clear that whilst clearly there are challenges due to the drill landing in a high pressure Zone, creating the influx, which can be dangerous and difficult to control, our management had done their contingency planning and had the correctly rated surface equipment to handle and control the high pressure in place, and as a result were able to have the well under control and flaring off the gas to remove the influx from the well.
It is clear that they are able to recover a substantial amount of hydrocarbons from the current depth, without fracking and may set production casing or use other techniques such as Managed Pressure Drilling to do so. They are a class act and the faith that we had in the Management is being rewarded.
Nice to see a happy Bulletin Board today, even SCH2EAUX was almost positive, and there was no nastiness as we had witnessed in the past couple of weeks as patience was wearing thin.
Open a bottle to celebrate a big step forward today!!
