The production test, which included flowing 400m3/d of brine to surface for five days...
KPI target is 3.
3x's the plant capacity.
1200 targeted flow rate.
PEA filing is 1700 m3d.
Chris has said it flows more than they can handle & in this video, his 1st 2 Q&A comments, are on the flow.
Keep in mind, that KPI is key for Fluor's work & there's 43-101 commenting rules. For years, E3 has worked from this well & Chris has little doubt. So that includes me too, from my arm chair. : ))

Good link, thanks. Chris is very clear about what a flow rate of 3 or higher means. The 3 is a recovery metric. It puts the other two KPIs into context, and determines the size of the commercial plant required for their DLE process to meet the other two KPIs, and hence the capital costs of a commercial plant. It would be nice to have him explicitly state that those two KPIs were achieved during a flow rate of 3 or higher. Great KPIs, but under what flow rate were they achieved in this particular pilot plant?
