Thanks Ya. I think it is probably also worth mentioning that the HPHT setting for the well didn't help either. Flowing high pressure and high temperature fluids (and gasses) from this depth presents its own challenges. The well casing itself could be expected to expand several metres during a flow test, so obviously the expertise and deep pockets of Eni will be critical to ensure that HS-1 works.

The other point to note in response to 1stocks1's question is that MEO engaged Schlumberger to do some fairly cutting edge inversion studies to better understand the porosity distribution of the Heron structure.

Then Eni farmed-in in May 2011, until they got a rig on site, and here we are, a week from spudding HS-1.
