RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:What do you not get Matt?Fair enough wcp. I actually liked your and Shedrills posts. This issue of testing or not has been bugging me since Kawa spud. My reservoir engineer friend in Calgary sent me a link which I posted here back in October 2021.
It was a case study of what was involved in testing an HTHP well in the Bay of Bengal, India. They had to create special alloy metals, machine them to "mil spec" standards then test them in a barometric chamber at bottom pressures and temperatures because you cannot afford tool faulures because of metal deformation due to pressure or metal expansion due to temperature. It was quite the involved lengthy process.
They successfully tested the well. I was wondering if APA had to do the same in Suriname and how that might affect fec/cgx plans. Ok so they don't need to test in order to arrive at a reliable resource estimate. That opens up a whole new set of questions that I best keep to myself. Thanks for your input wcp. Btw, I think that going forward, management's intentions are not even clear to themselves. If I were sitting on $20 to 50 billion worth of oil I'd think long and hard on the best path forward. Cheers!
