3.2 Stage 1: Exploration Well Testing Operations
3.2.1 Stage 1 consists of three sub-stages and involves setting the site up, preparing the borehole for the flow testing, undertaking the flow testing and pressure monitoring over a period of 60 days.
Borehole Preparation and Flow Initiation Operations
3.2.2 The borehole preparation and flow initiation operations will be undertaken over a period of 4-6 days on a daytime basis only. The operations will involve the mobilisation of plant/equipment on the site, cleaning up the lateral wellbore utilising diluted hydrochloric acid, at a [10%] concentration through coiled tubing inserted into
the well, a nitrogen lift to initiate the flow of hydrocarbons from the well, and the installation of the pump jack/beam pump. A crane up to 40m in height will be required to support the coiled tubing, and a work over rig will be needed to help set up the pump jack/beam pump.
Hydrocarbon Flow Testing
3.2.3 The flow testing operations will be undertaken over approximately fourteen days and will require a pump jack/beam pump to be installed to pump fluid from the borehole to storage tanks on the site. An enclosed flare with a maximum height of 13.7m will be located on the site and will be used to burn off any associated gas produced during
the well flow test period. The hydrocarbon flow from the well will last for no longer than seven days and during this time the flare will be available for operations on a 24-hour basis.
Pressure Monitoring
3.2.4 Once the flow testing has been completed the pump jack/beam pump will be removed and the pressure gauges will be installed in the borehole. This is estimated to take 2-3 days to complete. The borehole will then be shut in and secured for a period of up to 60 days. During this time, the gauges will record pressure in the wellbore but there will be no activity on the site.
If the flow testing and pressure monitoring works reveal that any hydrocarbon reserves are not of sufficient quantity and/or quality to extract in the future then stage 2 will commence.
