"That had some pretty high numbers when it flowed before."
Really?
The test utilised Nitrogen and coiled tubing to clean and prime the well which when removed
allowed a natural flow at 853 bopd equivalent, not including 22.5% water. A second flow period
was undertaken with the well flowing naturally at 1,587 bopd equivalent, not including 6.6% water.
The Balcombe-2z well produces from a single Micrite Layer, just one of the Kimmeridge Micrite
Layers. During the initial flow period, the well slugged at up to 3,000 barrels per day which had to
be reduced as it exceeded separator operating capacity. Duration of the test runs were limited
BUT - they never mentioned how long those flows were for. Those of us who remember previous Weald RNS's from ANGS and UKOG know this is critical
