Hi charkie,
Yes, dead oils flow with difficulty due to their high viscosity. That said, in my view since the sections to be tested in Unit 1B and 2 are "highly fractured", and the oil column is "substantial", coupled with multiple points where formations pressures were successfully obtained, leads me to conclude that Unit 1B and Unit 2 will flow. If MAY had quantified how high the formation pressures in Units 1B and 2 were, that would help even further. Remember, oil was flowing over the shackers while they were drilling through the highly-fracture sections - that's a positive to me, as long as they weren't drilling underbalanced...........

Kind regards OldGeo
