LOL Smasher...

MO struggles to be CEO or Chairman of himself, let alone international company...

Some advice to CASP is, in future, stay clear of Coiled Tubing on the deeps, stuff seems cursed, lol, sure they have come to same conclusion...

Regarding A5, the production tubing string (no mention of liner's condition, maybe what was milling). This should already be out of the well, so will be inspected in 10m sections at ground level, maybe some portions require replacing following last coiled tubing exploits.

Not sure how will check casing, maybe camera inspection and/or pressure tests, sure will let us know results when known.

Good luck all CASPers

Good Observing Pelle...

Last left on 9th March, so is much better @ 12/13 days versus last @ 26 days !!!

HEATHER KNUTSEN changed the reported Destination

Have read the doc again (from 11th Jan), is for A7, A9 and A10

All of the above wells will have cemented liners (like A6 and 801), will not be open-hole like A5, so will be able to control producing zones, looks like 3 x 90 days testing per well, so for 3 wells is 810 days testing in total... or is it 3 x 810 days (see below) !!!! Phewww, glad can bypass testing to go straight to production licence when ready :-)

Is possible each of the 3 tests per well is due to drilling deeper, with 3 x target intervals.

Think with non-cemented pre-perforated liner at A5 will only be all or nothing, as no ability to shut-off zones etc.

Good luck CASP... Fingers crossed A5 is still a goer... Another side-track not end-of the world... Have seen six or seven generations of side-tracks of side-tracks on some ageing north sea fields

Text from doc below...

Main project data
Construction of exploratory wells will be carried out with the drilling rig BU RT-50 / 3150L.
The cycle time of construction of one well will be 1,100 days, including:
• Construction, assembly and preparations -40 days;
• Drilling and fastening - 250 days;
• Test - 810 days, of which:.
- 0 days - open hole;
- 810 days - a production tubing (90 days based on one object ispytani
I).

Back to cave...

Good luck all

MO

Hey Smasher.. All can add to A5 info is...

Based on historical info...

The interval tested is limestone and extends 85 meters in height between depths 4,335 meters and 4,420 meters.

Gases encountered at 4.331m...

Latest info...

The well has now been cleared to a depth of 4,238 meters, some 147 meters above the top of the previously perforated and tested interval; 4385-4395m.

So can conclude, is under 100m to top of reservoir, if see testing elicense application for A wells, will test in 9 intervals, 10m each... Is only way can comprehend, lol

With 801, think will go for an Acid Frack, Schlumberger have Emulsified SXE Retarded Acid system... Baker Hughes has new posh "DeepSpot", all-in-one method, can see short video...

MO

Food for thought...

806 anticipated to produce 2x gas of 807, if correlation is equal.. 142 in between 806 and 807 !!! From data...

Yelemes South, 806 = 0.0830484 million m³

Yelemes South, 807 = 0.0414 million m³

Yelemes South (North Block), 142 = 0.0648 million m³

Only note is 142 and 146 wells at edge of field and to date have produced at maybe 80% below 143 rates (>500 bopd) at centre field

Am happy (maybe is rose... like 801 plan)

MO

regarding 3 x flaring licenses, active from today...

Am trying to decrypt the Gas predicted versus Oil Produced, are testing various intervals, so can make confusing (especially when observed following glass of Italian Rose)...

Anyway, wells are... 806, 807 and 142 (details in usual place)

Have good-un

MO

Yes CC, did see that regarding 146... Also seen...

"The remedial work at Well 146 has been completed with the well being re-perforated pending testing. If successful the Company would have 6 wells producing on the MJF structure."

Hopefully above quote from Jan 17th RNS superseded the license application info, application documentation was presented on 02.02.2019, with much info and detail from tests carried out during 2018, i.e. environmental air and soil tests from Q2/Q3.

Must admit, am suitably impressed how thorough and comprehensive the process is, even considering flora and fauna and wildlife at nearby marshes.

Best wishes to CASPers and good luck

MO

Hey CC

Off the top of my head I cannot remember the API of MJF, think is around 30 API Gravity, obviously the heavier the oil, the fewer barrels you get per ton, 7 barrels per tonne is a good rule of thumb.

Can get accurate figures at below link, type in desired API, i.e. very light crude at 40 API = 7.62 barrels per tonne, heavy crude like Kraken (14 API) is around 6.4 barrels per tonne.

http://www.sigma2c.com/16api_gravity.html

Think the 22.8 tons should be 228 tons as that would equal around 1600 bopd (7.12 barrels per tonne).

This is similar to what was quoted recently of ~1500bopd.

Also might get some news on 54 flowing (90 day flaring license expires end of April), maybe 100 bopd, sure would be better rates if eventually horizontal well.

Anyway, enough speculation from MO, back to cave, waiting for bus ;-}

Good luck all CASPers

MO

Hey CC

Would be nice, but certainly would not bet on it or hold my breath... Maybe is just another box ticked as part of license process...

One interesting part that seems to make "today" significant is...

"The contract territory of the subsoil user is BNG Ltd LLP in currently in the exploration phase, trial operation Yelemes North-West deposit was not actually implemented and until Today, the drilled wells were being tested identified objects. The subsoil user intends to use paragraph 28 of the “Uniform Rules ...” and go to the stage of industrial production, bypassing stage of trial operation."

Anyway, have good evening all

MO

Cheers Adrianz

MO won't count his chickens, but if it is then very nice...

So if going for option 2 = 25 year license applied for.

MO's still trying to understand Russian C1-C3 reserves system, may have changed... but getting there...

Residual geological / recoverable oil reserves category C1 7755.6 / 2324.6 thousand tons, categories C2 - 1952.0 / 522.0 thousand tons.

is equiv to approx 50m / 16m barrels of C1 and 14m / 4m C2 of oil

Residual geological / recoverable dissolved gas reserves C1 category is 159.9 / 50.9 million m 3 , category C2 - 52.0 / 14.0 million m 3

is equiv to approx 1.5bcf / 0.5bcf gas of C1 and 0.5bcf / 0.1bcf C2 of gas

--

Is interesting bit about test production, is about 1m barrels of oil produced...

"During the testing period, 134.368 thousand tons of oil were selected, 157.420 thousand tons of liquid and 3.086 million m 3 of gas dissolved in oil. Current oil output from the estimated initial geological reserves of oil amounted to only 1.7%, with an average annual water cut of mined products 17.0%, gas factor - 24 m 3 / t"

--

Also mentioning water issues...

"In the whole field in the trend for the time in question there has been a monotonous trend drops in average annual oil production rate and increase in water cut extracted products. "

Hopefully something from CASP soon

Best wishes

Good day all CASPers

MO tried not to look at elicense public domain online, but is an observer and could not help himself...

Document concludes with...

" Conclusion
The State Ecological Expertise agrees the “Project development of the post-salt complex of the Elemes North Western "with pre-EIA materials. "

Good morning all...

Think will leave Kaz CASP matrix in peace, is a little shy, I suggest leaving Tim to find his feet before harassing him at his non-CASP email address...

adrianz... Is bizarre situation, until MO disclosed find, was working perfectly, (has been inaccessible since Friday), more strange as is public domain "E-License" info, c'est la vie...

Kaz obviously slowly adapting to public domain info and still adjusting, maybe someone from UK messed around... Think they would panic if they saw how comprehensive the data available on the UK OGA system, from field/well works to production data.

Does discourage MO from info sharing, as was good source of info about CASP and was publicly available and not by any dodgy means and methods.

Have good day all

MO

Hey cc

I don't see any "refused" applications, just valid and invalid, is possible has been superseded by revised application...

But for you, I have dug out the most recent "invalid" one (18th Oct 2018)... Has a few docs associated with it...

Last one from me...

Is some interesting info about MJF oil collection and transport etc, interesting to know is trucked to field next door (to the east), is where we expanded the BNG license around. Did also see MJF referenced to as "South Yelemes (North Block)" in places. i.e.

The separated gas is passed through a vertical gas separator GS1-1.6-600-1-And for beating liquid phases, then the gas is used in the oil heater and for ensuring the technological needs of the flare unit (purge, stand-by burner).

The PSN provides for loading of commercial oil in tankers. To fill the oil in tank truck designed loading dock, consisting of the loading platform, vertical riser and valves (oil meter is provided for pumping oil). Production of wells from the buffer tank by gravity is fed to oil riser and transported by tanker trucks to the oil treatment facility of the Kolzhan field, related to LLP "Meerbusch", for the final finishing of oil to commercial quality. In order to save money on equipment during well testing after exploration drilling, reducing emission sources and preventing pollution territory, it was decided to combine all the equipment of the studied wells in one place and create a sealed collection system using pad 141 the wells to install the equipment below:
1. Capacities for oil of 73 m3 - 8 pieces
2. Oil and gas separator NGSV II-P-1,0-2000-2-TI-1shtuk
3. Riser filling 2pcs
4. Capacity for formation water RGS 100-1pcs
5. Flare candle -1pc
6. Pump gear W 80-2.5-37.5- 3 pieces
7. Diesel Generator Parking 100 kVA-1 pcs
8. Cummins diesel generator 120 kVA- 1pc
9. Test separator CE-400- 1 pc

The existing collection scheme is as follows:
Last products by discharge lines from wells 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146 enters the manifold platform of a temporary collection point at which The direction of fluid flow of all wells to the oil and gas separator is provided for
separation of petroleum liquid and gas.

Wonder if will impact Equinor (previously Statoil)...

20,245 employees (2017)
Norwegian State ownership: 67%

MO

Cheers adrianz...

Very happy with today's observation...

Did notice 2x flaring licenses run from end of Jan to end of April 19, so wonder if flowing/flaring already ?? Other license runs until July 19.

Hopefully a comprehensive update soon...

Good luck

MO

Hey Chilts

Have as 25/26 days...

As previously mentioned, if Kraken comes out of this roaaaring then has been a worthwhile exercise.

#33 will hopefully be sub 15 days (12/13 ideally), but will depend on DC4 commissioning and flowing, so can get the roar going...

Can only hope at the mo... Good luck

MO
