I believe there are a bunch of flare pictures on his site--at least they are in a list marked BK#2. for example-- tcsn.net

Morning dad, finally got my cable and computer cooperating a little bit. <<The flaring I know is correct and the shutting in, but could use some help in understanding what tests they will run, during the 5 day shut in.>> Are you sure you didn't get it mixed up, dad? My understanding is that the shut-in will be much shorter and that if the data indicates successful perf and no obstructions, it will be followed by about a 5 day flow test. Chit, I'm freezing up again. Chek it out please.

Hi dad. Upon completion of the cleanup flows the well will be shut in. They will run pressure recorders to the bottom of the well. I expect the "flow" test to start ~12 hours later. The flow test can be designed in several different ways so it is pointless for us to speculate on how BKP\APC will actually "flow test" BKP#2. The test design (i.e. the number of different flow periods, the rates, the duration of each flow\shutin period, the length of the extended flow period, etc.) will depend upon data obtained during their cleanup flows, constraints of the flare permit, and their major test objective(s). The actual test procedures may not even be finalized yet. Nonetheless, the flows will probably last 5-7 days. As there may be none\one\several "programmed" shutins during the test, there's likely no need to reach for the glycerin (nor to jump to a "hasty" conclusion) should the flare go out at some point during the test !!!. <gg> The bottom line is, BE PATIENT, dad !! Let it happen !! I get the feeling that you are expecting way too much, way too soon. At this point they've fired a bunch of holes in the liner. They've cleaned the well up a bit and are preparing to test it to determine what kind of a well it really is. The overall markets are getting hammered and that is probably having more impact on the JV share performance today than are the actual completion\test operations. JMHOBWDIK. Have a good one. Later, grayhairs P.S.-- The AEUB puts out an excellent publication entitled "Gas Well Testing Theory and Practice". It's ~350 pages and discusses the many different types of flow tests possible for gas wells. Please forgive me for skipping over a few "details". <gg>
