"further to my post last night, got more detail from the Frac Engineer, currently working on a Frac Job in Tunisia.

Big thanks to G+R for getting this sorted, they will no doubt read this, but do not post at all. R is a Completions Engineer and got hold of his mate in Tunisia for a better opinion.

"As it stands right now the well is flowing naturally removing the frac fluid @ X amount of barrels per day, most probably at a slow rate, and this will continue at a slow rate until the hydrostatic column of fluid in the well is reduced, allowing hydrocarbons to start flowing (as per DW @30%). There is a quicker way for them to do this. That would be running coil tubing, pumping nitrogen to artificially lift the frac fluid or swabbing the well and lifting the fluid that way, but why spend more on expensive coil tubing skid and nitrogen when the well is obviously flowing naturally be it at a slow rate initially.

In regards to the post by Caballero......he was right that PB wouldn't have known that the two zones were joined together. It could've been a very thin shelf or when they've frac'd the formation rock they've gotten communication.

He is incorrect about an increase in pressure due to two zones. The Reservoir pressure would be the same for both zones if they are communicating.

R can see why he's getting confused on the last part he's quoting from the RNS. They should've simplified it in his eyes to the nuts and bolts of what they still have to do! What they've done is go into what if scenarios. "

Basic message is the drop yesterday was totally unjustified, although I for one filled my boots, this should continue rising IMO into results.

still 100% faith that these guys will pull this off.

Game on!!!!"
