"It used to flow a bit faster, indeed gush:"
That was in 2016 - after 2 years of being attacked by just about every academic, industry skeptic and swampie they had 30 days to do the test - nowhere near long enough IMHO. They eventually got it flowing - the temptation to "let her rip" was probably overwhelming - the phrase "seagull scorcher" used to be sued int eh N Sea but has I understand been replaced by the phrase "Bankers Burn" - a very short term, high as possible rate, to create a headline. That rate may be a long way from a sustainable rate over 12 months
Every Company has done it................
At HH the steady flow rates of 200 bopd from the Portland and the Kimm over 18 months shows this will make money even at current rates. I 'm confident they will do better than these rates long term - the question is by how much?
