Commercial millions of barrels of oil find!!!16 Apr 2024 12:08
Ssccss - they can also increase! Itās also the survey of whatās in the ground that hasnāt moved lol! Theyāve already stated itās COMMERCIAL! IMHO DYOR
āCommercialisation options to be advanced in parallel, including farm-out to a strategic development partner and/or early, capital-lite production, given proximate infrastructure advantages (Hickory-1 next to Dalton Highway and Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System (TAPS)).ā
Iām beginning to think thereās a lot of people on here who havenāt even read the RNS! I will also add here
āHickory-1 has now delivered two successful oil flows and three independent discoveries:
- SMD-B (today's result): with a peak flow rate of ~50 bopd of light oil (measuring approx. 39-degree API oil gravity, under nitrogen lift).
- Upper SFS (USFS) (previously announced on 2 April 2024): with a peak flow rate of over 70 bopd of light oil (measuring approx. 40-degree API oil gravity, under natural flow).
- Both flow rates result from low volume stimulations over small 20ft perforated intervals in vertical well.
- Previously announced Basin Floor Fan (BFF) Gross Best Estimate (2C) Contingent Resource of 250 Million Barrels of Oil Equivalent (MMBOE) (refer 88E ASX release dated 6 November 2023)
Ā· Quality and deliverability of both SMD-B and USFS demonstrated via oil production to surface with the USFS reservoir producing under natural flow - positively differentiating Hickory-1 from results on adjacent acreage.
Ā· It is anticipated that these reservoirs will be developed from long horizontal production wells which typically produce at multiples of between 6 to 12 times higher than vertical wells. Project Phoenix also benefits from the ability to produce concurrently from multiple reservoirs in a single development scenario.
Ā· Well testing results from the current field season confirm long-held views of the producibility of multiple reservoirs at Project Pheonix.ā
