"OK, this will get a bit 'techie' but I hope the 'non-techies' will understand my drift, which I'll try to keep simple.
Coincidentally, simultaneously, in parallel with all the guff the BoD has recently published, there's a small bit about 'requesting permission from the OGA to produce at 300 psi below bubble point'.
What this essentially means (if accepted) they could 'open the taps wide' to the possible detriment of the reservoir, and if it meant pushing the FPSO to operational limits, maybe the FPSO itself. But well 6 is quite capable of producing 20,000 bopd, and even if there's 30% water-cut, the FPSO can handle that."
No. No. No. No.
The reason HUR required permission from OGA is due to potential gas cap formations and also to get approval for a less efficient production from Lancaster. Afterall, a lot of gas will now be flared for smaller production of oil.
Also, the BOD clearly project the reservoir pressure to drop 300 psi between now and until economic limit of the well.
No taps are going to be "opened wide".
Sometimes, I do question your technical knowledge lol.
Well 6 is currently running on ESP due to declining BHP pressure and to support lift. With production at below bubble point, there are risks to the ESP with gas production - including gas locks and erosion.
You seriously don't understand the situation HUR are in lol.
It's Game Over. 5% or 0%.
