Panr update - unofficial15 Feb 2023 14:53
So just been on the Panr board fishing for updates and one of the posters posted the below. People seemed to be getting very edgey last week and its calmed a bit now (prob paid re-rampers) but either way I've been watching it as it affects us. This is the time line they came up with. Its a poster so not exact but the way he researched it I feel it has some legitimacy.
Others may be thinking or promoting the idea that the CTU should have completed by now. The last RNS was ambiguous: ‘coiled tubing unit has subsequently moved onto the well head to commence a cleanout of the sand blockage which is scheduled to occur over the weekend’. But given the history, that would have been extremely unlikely.
On 10 Nov, the first CTU was on site, ‘ Clean out operations continue …(with) … conservative pumping rates … due the tight tolerances between the outside diameter of the CTU and the inside diameter of the production tubing’.
8 Dec, they reported: ‘clearing most, but not all, of the blockage and flow testing has resumed’. Subsequent report 30/12 told us there was a blockage of about 1,000 feet of frac sand, which means they took 28 days to clear just over 4000 ft in a delicate operation.
25 Jan, the workover rig began to remove the tubing and packer from the wellbore to start the sand blockage cleanout, with operations ‘estimated to take approximately 10 days.’ Bad weather and rig problems delayed operations a week, and it wasn’t until 10 Feb the workover rig moved off the wellhead, with the SLB CTU due to start removing the sand over the weekend 11/12 Feb.
I reckon the earliest we could hear about clearing the blockage would be Friday, more realistically Monday. SLB (Schlumberger) are experts in CTU operations, which increases my confidence they will be successful here.
