Some lovely take aways there
So far, well productivity is world-class, with each well exhibiting an initial productivity index (PI) in excess of 200 stb/d/psi. To provide context, the Saudi super-giant Ghawar field is reported to have had initial PIs of c. 140 stb/d/psi. This productivity is particularly impressive when considering both wells are interpreted as producing from a limited section of the horizontal borehole length close to the heels of the wells.
This suggests that the wells are obtaining more pressure support with increased production, progressively 'seeing' more of the reservoir. This additional pressure support is attributed both to connections with more distant volumes of the reservoir, and slower feed-in from micro-fractures within the dual porosity system. The net effect is that the wells are accessing more volume with time, and have yet to reach a stable decline rate from which ultimate reservoir size can be estimated.
