Ann: Block 9 Alameda 2 Appraisal Update, page-50

summary.

• Net pay in Amistad (1, 2 and 3) in Alameda 2 is nearly 6 x greater than that recorded in Alameda 1 (100m v 600m), taking fracture porosity into account, using formation image log data. People can work out what that means for themselves. Its massive.
• The oil is heavy, but it flows.
• Unit 1A will need to be pumped (we knew that already).
• Unit 3 flowed at 750 bbl/day unassisted. 1.5 psi/metre. The flow was controlled by a 2 km water cushion in the tubing (safety measure to prevent uncontrolled flow and formation/well damage). The water cushion was almost displaced (8.5 m3 out of 10 m3 ) by the oil flow into the well.
• No water flowed into the well from the formation.
• Unit 1B we dont know, until they test it.
• Unit 2 we dont know, until they test it (being tested atm).
• Theyre saying basal (bottom) section of Units 2 and 3 have the most fractures.
• DSTs taking longer than expected.

Its like living in a resort serving all you can eat oysters and lobster and champagne ...its 10 am, on my first day. I have a week to go (Alameda -3).
