you never can tell until it flows but book marked this quite some time ago when researching quite some time ago
this one below is onshore and VERTICAL flowed at 60,000 bopd
The spouter Nobel Brothers No. 25, which blew out at Balakhani field, Baku in 1883 at 500,000 *poods of oil daily (60,000 BOPD) from a depth of 582 feet.
Russian oil was measured and sold by the pood, a unit of weight equal to 40 Russian pounds, which equates to 36.114 English pounds, with 8.33 poods to the standard 42-gallon oil barrel.
In the USA the advent of Horizontal drilling and completion technology has vastly increased flow rates
in established fields.
When compared to co-located vertical wells, on average the majority of new Horizontal wells flowed
at rates of 4-6 times the Vertical well rate.
Some where lower but in some exceptional cases, the Horizontal flow rate exceeded that of the individual
Vertical well by more than tenfold
