"Over a 15 hour period of flow testing up to 6am today on a choke of 40/64ths, the well flowed an average gas rate of two million cubic feet a day (2.0mmcf/d)
By way of example, last Tuesday week (May 12) the choke was increased from 40/64ths to 58/64ths with the following increase in flow rates (after 7 hours): Choke Gas flow
40/64ths- 1.3mmcf/d 58/64ths- 2.1mmcf/d
As demonstrated above, at a 58/64ths choke the well is expected to flow at significantly higher gas and fluid rates."
Working off last weeks example once the choke size was changed it increased flow rates by 62%. Therefore once that change is made IMO we should have flow rates of at least 3.24mmcf/d..?
Interesting comments from Steve Keenihan:
“It’s not a case of whether these will flow,” Keenihan said. “These reservoirs will flow gas. The big question is about how many wells we will need to drill to get a commercial amount of gas out.
"Keenihan reckoned two mmcfpd should be commercial, although he stressed that very much depended on the up-front capital costs.
