re Angus's Balcombe ewt application.
WSCC uploaded to its site on 23/12/20 "other correspondence" which included this question to, and answer from, Angus:
You state that previous exploration indicated “flowrates of 1599.6 bbls/day (254 m3/day)
per day”. I assume this was from the 2018 7-day flow test. How accurate is this, given
that this flow test wasn’t 100% successful?
The previous flow period was indeed in the Autumn of 2018, and flow was intermittent and variable
because of slugging of liquids lost to the well during drilling and other operations. The rate referred
to a period of consistent and stable flow of reservoir fluids. The measured rate is reasonably
accurate given the high spec equipment on site that metered the return of fluids from the well.
