RE: Lower risk Amungee H2 well to higher risk SSA1 well6 Jul 2023 04:14
Paul Sanger: Joel, let's move on to the Amungee 2H flow rates and forward program. The initial results, you're quoted as saying, were highly encouraging, but you did encounter, identify an issue with regard to a potential skin inhibiting gas and water flow. Firstly, what exactly does this mean? And, secondly, is there a quick fix to the issue at hand?
Joel Riddle: To start with first principles, the definition of "skin" is essentially a non-permeable barrier between the rock formation and the wellbore. And so this is a very normal thing that you see, particularly in early-stage shale development, where you could have an incompatibility between the fluid system that was used for the completion potentially being incompatible with the rock. And so the good news is that we've had fluids analysed by a very high-end laboratory in Odessa, Texas. This is a laboratory that has looked at essentially every shale well from every shale basin in the US, and they've done some very in-depth analysis that suggests that this skin can be treated. And we're very hopeful that, once treated, this well will clean up, and we hope to have a 30-day IP (initial production) that we can report to market some time in the second half of this year.'
