Water/oil and AICDs5 Jan 2022 10:21
And technology has improved in the last few years. I have posted before about AICDs but I think worth posting again. AICDs, Advanced inflow control devices have it appears become much more popular over the past 5years, increasing oil, reducing water and maintaining pressure, increasing total recovered oil. This company had fitted 35,000 AICDs in 210 wells of 2019. There are others by other companies.

TXP has oil in 3 zones, each with different characteristics, each will likely require different solution to optimise returns.
These may need different wells, or maybe the lowest zone will require fracking, and then later in life the same well can be used for middle or upper zones. AICDs look attractive for the middle zone, maybe for the upper zone.
Pumps will probably be needed as there doesn't seem to be that much gas, or water reinjection or flooding later in field life.
Obviously this is going to take time to show its full potential
But with 3 zones with oil, many potential solutions to optimise oil production no wonder the company wants to drill a new well in January.
