This is simply a slight delay, all looks good on the macro level:
"· The rod pump has now been installed on the SCHB 2(2.) well and, having produced at much higher rates initially, production has now stabilised at a rate of approximately 40 barrels of oil per day ("bopd").
· The low production rate indicates that the reservoir near the wellbore has been invaded with drilling fluids which are restricting flow rates. This is not uncommon in situations where hole stability issues have occurred during drilling due to the use of high-density drilling fluids to stabilise the hole.
· The well continues to clean-up, albeit currently at a slow rate. Even at these low flow rates, production is commercial with field revenues exceeding field operating costs.
· The Company will undertake industry-standard well stimulation in the fourth week of January 2024, which is expected to improve production.
· The Company is fully funded to undertake the planned well stimulation in an operation that will take approximately 1 week and which has an estimated cost of less than ?500,000.
· To date, over 1,600 barrels of oil have been produced through the Schwarzbach facility since the installation of the rod pump."
I have added another 10m shares this morning. Waiting patiently for the pay day in Q1 2024.
