Lancaster Field Update
Hurricane Energy plc, the UK based oil and gas company, provides an update on Lancaster field operations.
On 10 June 2021, the Company announced that the electric submersible pump ("ESP") in the 205/21a-6 ("P6") well had tripped on 8 June 2021, causing the well to be temporarily shut in on precautionary grounds prior to restarting the well on natural flow while the cause of the trip was investigated.
While these investigations continue and ahead of an attempt to restart the P6 well ESP, the Company has decided to maintain the P6 well on natural flow at a rate of 9,000 - 11,000 bopd subject to surface conditions and settings in order to fulfil the minimum lifting quantity for the next Lancaster lifting which is scheduled for the week commencing 14 June 2021.
