Surely the Oil and Gas Authority are not going to say no to an extension? The interference data is what's needed to better understand the connection between GWA?
''The 205/26b-14 well (the "Lincoln Crestal Well") on the Greater Warwick Area ("GWA") was drilled in Q3 2019, and tested at a maximum stable flow rate of 9,800 stb/d. Regulatory consent for suspension of the well, with gauges downhole, was granted for the purposes of completing pressure build-up tests and gathering interference data. The suspension consent required that the well be plugged and abandoned by 22 June 2020.
The GWA Partners (comprising Hurricane GWA and Spirit Energy) intend to seek regulatory consent from the Oil and Gas Authority to delay the abandonment of the Lincoln Crestal Well in order to obtain interference data during well testing in 2020. One or more sub-vertical wells are planned to be drilled and tested in 2020, to determine the maximum vertical extent of the Lincoln field in order to meet the commitment well requirement of the P1368 licence extension ("Lincoln Commitment Well").
