How do you plan a standard production test after a hydraulic fracturing stimulation:
You sit together with the colleagues from the different departments, drink a coffee and discuss the scenarios you could expect
A) a perfect well that means without any extra help you get a nice , permanent flow rate above the critical velocity
B) after every frack you have to expect some proppants (that could cause a flow restriction or even plugging the well, especially in a horizontal well) and you expect some spent frac fluid that has to be lifted. So you prepare stand by equipment and even we here got enough hints that there is a very high probability that we get this scenario after the second trial.
C) you discuss and think about other usefull tools like logging tools etc and you give the logging company a phone call that they are prepared to be at the well site within 24 h when you need them etc.
I really do not know if this guys are just dumb or if Org management has given up this well and does not support the operational guys with enough funds and resources?
Newto,
This was a question from Beetaloo. They drilled a pilot hole, so they should have an idea about the second best sweet spot there.
For me it is not very professional to hear from somebody like Cenkos that Org
- got perhaps a restriction in the well or
- could be that the fracs are not performing or
- the reservoir is not performing.
It seems Org and Fog are somehow clueless although it is a standard oilfield job to get information about a restriction in a well or to find out if you have a problem with the frac respectively the reservoir. In regards to operations I am not used to this snail pace.
This Fog-Org combination is a mixture of snake and snail oil.
Quick technical question: Kyalla is located above the Velkerri formations. Would it be possible with velkerri drill make a DFIT test at the level of the Kyalla formation to get more information about this formation?
Thats an option for any other formation after you have given up and plugged and abandoned the horizontal part of the well with cement.
Trough & sLift
Gas injection is not a bad thing, but it has to be injected into the top of the reservoir.
This will give you 2 effects
A) a higher or slower decreasing reservoir pressure (as already discussed here) and
B) if you can create a secondary gas cap, this gas can mobilize some extra oil to the lower placed production wells
Producing below the bubble point will create problems at downhole pumps.
One explanation that Org is not acting very proactive in the Beetaloo although we have a high oilprice now could be their not so attractive hedge (must hurt when you get just a fraction of the world oilprice for your produced and sold oil/ gas) see list in this article

Many unanswered questions for Fog investors.

The burning flare can be seen clearly only on the drone video from Org.
Perhaps with an infrared red satellite image we can verify the flame.
I checked the wild fire copernicus satellite page but no elevated data for CH4, CO2 etc were reported in the area of the well site. My interpretation: the flame is not big enough :-(
The same image with the same quality can be seen on google maps

This satellite foto has a great quality.
But I assume that the satellite foto is older than gonole's drone video, posted on Org's Facebook page on 22nd of June 2021

About 850 000 cft/d but it is just a very rough estimation.
"We had between 400 and 600 thousand cu. ft. over that limited 17 hour flow back test in January -- which works out to approximately 700,000 cu ft. per day if a 24 hour test had of been successful."
This could fit with this numbers. I am sure the Org guys at the well site shot the video, when the flare showed a big flame and not a small flame. When you open a gas well after a shut in there is always the chance to see a good rate when you open the valve for the first time.
