RE:RE:Well 2 resutls Just some FYI for any Newbiews out there...GOLONG!
Ithaca Energy has completed a flow test on the first development well drilled on the Stella field in the North Sea, Ithaca said in a news release.
The first Stella field development well, A1, flowed at a maximum rate of 10,835 boe/d on a 7/8-inch choke, with the full production potential of the well limited by the capacity of the well test equipment on the drilling rig, the release said. Fluid samples have confirmed the high oil content of the hydrocarbons that will be produced from the well. The maximum rate corresponds to 6,499 b/d of oil and 26 MMscf/d of liquids rich gas.
The well intersected a high quality net reservoir interval of 400 m (1,312 feet), with reservoir properties in line with previous wells drilled on the field. The oil is of high quality, approximately 42° API, the release said.
The facilities that will be used on the FPF-1 floating production facility to separate and export oil and gas produced from the field will increase the overall oil relative to gas production rate associated with the A1 well, by processing more efficiently than the simple separation facilities available for the purposes of the well test, Ithaca said.
Following suspension of the A1 well, the ENSCO 100 will move on to drilling of the second Stella development well from the same drilling center location.
