RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:dragonfly454 - question for youYeah you need strong pipe to handle the differential when you open the well up to flow so that the pipe doesn't collapse.
So if this is not an HTHP well then they can do an open hole DST. That 11.2 ppg brine is probably calcium chloride brine water cushion in the test string like we used a lot offshore Venezuela and Trinidad with Chevron on open hole DSTs that we did. But we needed 14 ppg calcium bromide kill brine after the two week long tests.
I wonder if they've run an MDT (modular formation dynamics test) or will soon.
