Hi Dale,

Following completion operations, the 7-25 well will be placed on production test. Why?

A production test will be carried out to obtain critical information about the reservoir and the fluids therein. A properly designed test will provide insight about:

1) Current productivity at various levels of back pressure on the wellhead. This info is crucial to accurate predictions of future well productivity (with the well in an "as is" state).

2) The current amount/degree of wellbore damage or stimulation. This information is critical to the assessment of whether or not more $$ should be spent on additional stimulation of the wellbore (with the objective of further increasing well productivity).

3) Reservoir boundaries in close proximity to the wellbore.

4) Minimum reserve volumes.

5) Reservoir pressure, temperature and reservoir fluid composition all of which are important to the determination of recoverable reserves.

A well test is only very rarely carried out at the maximum well capability (and that is when the capability is low!!). The test is not intended to "show the goods" but rather to enable "calculation of the goods". Like you Dale, I doubt that we'll see a huge flare. (And the tight hole status tends to support that view.)

Later,
grayhairs
