RE:RE:RE:RE:197ft at BluefinI don't and never said I did know, because Exxon stated they are not releasing well data information.
But from following many oil plays a drill stem test has always been part of the initial tests preformed on wells after a discovery to help prove up commercial viability and reservoir properties and confirm that an appraisal well is warranted.
Exxon being the Professional's that they are would follow up a discovery with proven industry procedures which I assume would include a DST
Below is part of Sinatas NR on Galps recent discovery.
Maybe you should Google DST and learn what part it plays in the oil discovery process.
The rig will now return to the Mopane-1X well location to conduct a drill stem test until early April.
Galp will continue to analyze the acquired data during the coming weeks to assess the commerciality of the discoveries.
