Pectin11 - Production could be significantly higher just by altering the choke. IMHO the EWT using a 6/64" choke rather than a 8/64" choke is possibly due to restrictions on flaring the gas. At the latter size, the flow rate more than doubles from 250 bbls/d to 529 bbls/d. When the gas can be processed, then if the EWT indicates much higher flows without too much of a decline in well pressure, or damage to equipment through the higher pressures, then flow rates could be into FOUR FIGURES. The bore is only open an eighth @ 8/64" = 529 bbls/d, therefore 8 x 529 bbls/d = 4232 bbls/d. However, there are other variables which mean that the increase would not be linear and the figure of 4232 bbls/d is just show what is possible.
