Evening draderd. I think someone is getting excited! LOL
I looked at Bart's fabulous pictures and have to say that I can't tell much about the state of readiness. I'm sure there is a lot of tweaking, bolting, testing and checking going on as we speak.
I would respectfully suggest that even if a Sunday perf were to happen, you would still have at least 5 days in which to enjoy the flare test.
In fact, the later the better.
If you remember when we were there for BKP #1, we saw a maximum flow of around 7-9 million cf/day, but a few days later it was up to 23 million.
I am certain that this one will start off slow and ramp up through the week...and what a week it should be!
I seriously doubt that the stock market is playing any part in the moment of truth (perforating BKP #2).
Berkley has demonstrated time and time again just how much they care about what happens to BKP stock...not!
Anyway, whenever you do decide to hit the skies, have a good trip.
Now, knowing very little about production matters, I have a question.
Why is there all this talk of production tubing sizes?
Surely, the limiting factor is the smallest aperture in the system, which is the choke, I think.
BKP #1 was tested using a 15/64" choke, which is a lot smaller than a 3" tubing.
If I understand this correctly, all of that 23 mmcf/day gas, 70 bbls/mmcf condensate and 290bbls/mmcf water were produced through that 15/64" aperture.
I don't understand the intricacies of production, but can someone tell me why the tubing size is being discussed, but nobody is paying attention to choke sizes?
Cheers,
