So Heid, it looks like it's just down to Wressle, given the latest WN figures from RBD website by BNP/Exane.
"We have constructed a low recovery factor success case for West Newton, incorporating the drilling of one further appraisal well and thirteen development wells, recovering a gross 9.9mmboe (8.2mmbbls oil and 10bcf gas). This equates to a recovery factor of ~8%
Utilising our estimate of oil and gas recovery factors, informed by those for the LMG fields, results in a recovery factor of 14%, which we adopt as our higher recovery factor success case.
Utilising the initial production rates per well outlined above, we model 22 production wells for our 14% recovery factor scenario (i.e. an incremental 9 development wells over our low case). This equates to a relatively high density of wells, and would only be achievable with relatively close spacing of wells. It is possible (perhaps likely) well productivity would need to be higher than we have modelled in order to achieve a 14% recovery factor"
First time they've seen fit to published recovery numbers 8-14%
UK average for this formation has been previously published elsewhere as 13%...
