HH KL-3 testing16 Nov 2018 07:49
Alan,
In yesterdays RNS Ukog stated that
"10,248 bbl of KL3 oil was produced over 30 days of sustained daily natural and pumped flow..."
"The average sustained daily rate over the full test period was 342 bopd".
Are the 342 bopd really the average sustained flow as stated?
342 bopd over 30 days equates to the 10,248 barrels collected. Collected over natural and pumped flow rates during that period.
Can they really quote the 342 bopd as "average sustained daily rate"? 342 is the mean bopd to flow over 30 days to produce 10,248 barrels.
I think that 342 is an understatement. During the 30 days they would have been flowing at different rates for different reasons, but I am no expert. What about periods of no flow for pressure testing. I have no knowledge of well testing and trying to understand.
You are the one with the knowledge, what do is your take on this? Appreciated, thanks.
