Hi, I will defer to grayhairs on your question. There are lots of variables on that. It appears he is close at hand to the action down there and can better provide an answer. It sounds like testing on Friday may indeed be optimistic, reading grayhairs last post. I would estimate the time to trip out and back in from 12000' to be 9-10 hours (unless things have sped up considerably in the last 10 years). As we don't know the completion and testing program details, it is hard to estimate accurately when the show will begin. Does anyone know if BEA cored? If they did, alot of important info will already be in hand regarding porosity, permeability etc. IMO, there should be little to zero "reservoir" risk on this play-porosity and permeability should be good to excellent. Any threadsters who live in Calgary: let us know if you see any bright lights in the south-west in the evenings this weekend. Regards, teevee

Hi Jim, I'd assume that they get a flare permit for 50 MMCF and I would assume that they will flow about 5 MMCF during completion "cleanup" operations leaving about 45 MMCF available to flare on the flow test. If they do a 4 point test, they'll flow about 8 MMCF doing the 4 points and then if they drop the rate more than normal (so as to maximize reservoir data collection) to ~5 MMCF/D for the extended flow the total flow test (including shutins) would be about 8-1/2 days. If they do only a single point test, it will last between 9 days (@5 MMCF/d) and 15 days (@3 MMCF/d). The lower the flow rate, the "further into the reservoir" they will actually look with the test, assuming that they flow the same total volume of gas. Later, grayhairs P.S. -- The well will be scouted this weekend.
