It will also naturally increase the flow rate due to increased perforation and pressure over the length of the horizontal in the production zone. Check out Arrow Exploration (AXL) who have had a lot of success in this space in the last 12 months.
Here they are playing in a fractured formation, so by increasing the length of the horizontal, which they will then subsequently acid wash (this is big here, especially on a horizontal), it'll create larger pockets across the basement for recoverable resources (hence the increase). The beauty of all of this is, is not only do we get increased recoverable resources from a single well, but we'll also be able to control the flow rate for quite some time. This will give us the option to produce more short term to fund the next well, or simply choke back the flow with the ESP to maintain reservoir integrity and produce consistently.
This is going to be an exciting step forward for the company and they'll learn a lot from this drill to develop the field for years to come (hopefully quicker with a favourable farm-in deal).
