DEEP POTENTIAL28 Jun 2022 13:05
I LIKE THIS BIT THE BEST – THE REASON WE’RE ALL HERE.
‘’We continue to BELIEVE that the geological conditions at the super giant fields of Kashagan and Tengiz EXTEND to the BNG Contract Area. If this is the case the potential volume of oil in these deep structures is VAST and the implications on the Company's fortunes of ONE or more commercial deep wells would be transformational. We remain committed to bring as many as possible of these six deep wells into production. However, until we are successful in bringing at least one of these six deep wells into production, it is unlikely we will drill any further deep wells at BNG.’’
‘’Deep structures
We have identified two deep structures at the BNG Contract Area. The first is the Airshagyl structure, which extends to 58 km2. The second is the Yelemes Deep structure which extends over an area of 36 km2.’’
WOW! WHAT IF..... WHAT’S THE NET PAY OF THE 105+ GROSS METERS – HOW MANY INTERVALS?
‘’A5
Well A5 was spudded in July 2013 and drilled to a total depth of 4,442 meters with casing set to a depth of 4,077 meters to allow open-hole testing. Core sampling revealed the existence of a gross oil-bearing interval of at least 105 meters from 4,332 meters to at least 4,437 meters. For 15 days the well produced at the rate of approximately 3,000 bopd before production fell to approximately 1,000 bopd, leading to the well being shut in for remedial treatment. Limited rig availability resulted in little work on this well in 2021 or subsequently. We remain believers in the well and intend to drill a new side-track from a depth of 4,500 meters when a rig becomes available.’’
WHY ARE THEY DRILLING DEEPER FROM 4,500M TO 5,300M? WHY NOT RE-DRILL THE THICKEST INTERVAL(S) THAT PRODUCED 3,000 BOPD FOR 15 DAYS - HORIZONTALLY? WHAT’S BELOW 4,500M? – WELL THE A8 DEEP WELL HAS FOUND 3 OIL BEARING INTERVALS NONE OF WHICH WERE COMMERCIAL – MAY BE THESE INTERVALS WIL BE BETTER FRACTURED BELOW THE A5 DEEP WELL?
WHAT IF...........?
