I am thinking they are regrouping. On platforms in North Sea they had 2 separators, Train A and B. Obviously they needed cleaned out. With the sand that is coming back from the frac if one separator have to shut in the well.. Probably need a coil tubing unit to either bail the sand from 80/ 90 degrees OR circulate it out all the way. Another separator as well so have back up. This will take time. All looks like the well will flow on its own. Need more equipment. On order and on its way. Thunderbirds are go!!!!
If I had the programme I would know better. Just thinking through. Been over 12 years since I did a completion or any of this.!!!! All estimation of what they are doing. For instance do not know which packer they ran or depth set. Just a guide. Tree will be on before lowering the hydrostatic. Clean up and flow after that. You are correct. Just because the rig is there means nothing at the moment. Like I said completion run and tree on is massive to me. Your dates could be about right!
Have to rig up. Pick up drill pipe and get the packer. Then pull the packer to surface. Maybe do a wiper trip back in and circulate clean hole. The hole has to be clean to run a completion. The completion will also have a packer to seal off the annulus so all the production goes up the tubing_completion. That is all done overbalance. Once all in place they have to lower the hydrostatic on the well to let it flow. Nitrogen usually so probably have coil tubing on site to Run through pipe to bottom to pump nitrogen down to bottom. Could take about 10 days till flowing. All a guess. Roughly what I would do. A lot of work still to be done but have done well so far and Hopefully all goes well. They will have a precise written programme for it all. A step by step instruction on what to do.
Thinking they may have to drill out packer. Then run tubing . Coil can be rigged up on workover rig to drill the packer. So when the rig gets there a few days to rig up and coil rig up. I do not have access to their plans.
The rig will be there and run completion. Looks like a stab into packer??? Drill it out??? I do not know. The frac is out of the way which was well done apparently. That was hard work. When the rig gets there a couple of days to run tubing and we are off to the races I hope. They would not have done all that work for nothing I hope.
Sorry again. VOG produced the gas for all of Pointe Noire in Congo. The CEO made a fortune and then went bust. REM was leningas which is now KDNC. He also was 5 billion barrrels of oil under Gatwick. Him and many MPS were under that one. If he reads this I am In Turkey and work for the big boy here!!! LOL
