Hi ListerWA,

Interesting article!

"On June 3, 2007, the test was resumed with an 8/64” choke. Within 8 hours of opening the well and recovering 208 bbls of frac fluid, gas surfaced in burnable quantities, which are too small to measure. After flow testing the well for 29 hours and recovering approximately 800 bbls of the frac fluid, it was noted that the flow-back was producing greater than expected quantities of bottom sediment. On June 4, the well was opened up to a 12/64” choke to assist in the clean-up. The well continued to produce gas in burnable quantities through the test separator throughout the day. On June 5, the well experienced a partial to complete tubing plug, which temporarily caused the well to cease flowing. After three hours of no frac fluid recovery, the well unloaded large quantities of bottom sediment, resulting in significant quantities of gas flow in and an 8-foot to 10-foot flare and increased flowing tubing pressures. Falcon will continue to flow test the well, recover as much of the frac load fluid as possible, ensure the tubing and perforations are free and clear of any obstructions, and, if required, assist the well bore unloading process via coil tubing-nitrogen. About two thirds of the frac load water has been recovered."
