I have copied this from the UKOG board a poster named argus 1. The 2016 HH flow test produced 1940 barrels of oil that were delivered to Esso refinery at Fawley.
There are some that have questioned that the flow rates were for only for a very short duration, only a few hours.
That is because the flow so exceeded expectation that prior OGA flow test permission had only been approved for a total output from the well of 2000 barrels of oil as this was probably considered far more than would be required.
As this was almost reached in such a short flow time the tests could not continue.

"2. This Approval is given on condition that:
(a) during the said test, petroleum in the form of crude oil shall not be got from the well in amounts which in total exceed oil 2000 bbl (280 tonnes, 320 cubic metres);"
