my question about extensive testing of well #4I am glad they are getting a lot more info on the different zones in well #4 and trying to confirm that it is a discovery (with reserves, so far the "discovery" word only appeared in the headline of a news release - it is technically a "helium show" because no wireline, no DST - and it is certainly not a commercial discovery without pressure testing, reservoir definition, proven reserves.
BUT, if they were looking for a fast path to production in 4th quarter 2021 (that is just not on track to happen), then why didn't they do pressure testing (draw down and build up pressures) and other testing on well 1 (which flowed 24 mmcf of 7% helium) - so they could determine what rate it could be produced, establish some reserves, and start the engineering to move toward some initial production. Those numbers on well #1 seemed incredible to me and were the main reason (the other being past history of 15 years of helium production in Holbrook basin) that I decided to invest in DME.
