OCC requirement to release drilling data is 3 months after production testing is complete. The operator can effectively determine how long a production test can take but not more than 12 months if my recollection is correct.. flow back operations are not a considered a production test.

This is a standard requirement for all operators in Oklahoma.

Well results can be held back from the public domain for an extended period if an operator in a new location for example, wants to build a significant acreage position around a well which may be a discovery well. The Flames is not a new discovery in a new area but BRK may have strategic reasons to hold back news. I guess we will find out when they eventually release the well results ( DP did mention in the 1 H 2022 Spark Plus interview that they should be out within a few weeks), or when they release the news which was the reason for them holding back.

Cheers
