RE: These studies are a waste of money1 Dec 2022 08:25
Well said Gus. Happy is not very happy that this will recover and probably wants in at a lower sp. So many holes in his post anyway. Borders are not doing the study. An independent energy consultant like Gaffney Cline will be doing it so it will not be biased. An independent assessment will go into a lot more detail than any oil company would. It also be trusted, as the reputation of the energy consultant will be on the line. As for appraisal, the logging data from the well and the 3D seismic have shown that Darwin East is a simple tilted fault block with excellent marine sands reservoir that is continuous, with high permeability and porosity and clear seismic flat spot and amplitude conformance to structure. Darwin West is exactly the same. The reservoir is a high producer and needs minimal wells to extract significant volumes of condensate and liquid gas. Therefore the economics are excellent. Down hole pressure samples obtained show the condensate and liquid gas has no impurities, which again makes the liquid highly prized and in demand, with very few fields like it of this size and quantity. dyor.
