A 7-day test of 2013 horiz well Balcombe-2z in PEDL 244, West Sussex has gauged (unassisted) 853 bo/d equivalent, not including 22.5% water (unexpected), and a 2nd flow period 1,587 bo/d equivalent, not including 6.6% water, from one of the Kimmeridge micrite layers, 34Â° API. Angus believes it can isolate the water zone and establish commercial production under pump. Angus (op), partners Cuadrilla + Lucas Bolne.
Balcombe 2z (Angus 25% op. Cuadrilla 56.25%, Lucas Bolney 18.75%) in PEDL 244, the 7-day flow test programme for this horizontal well (The horizontal leg of the well was drilled through the Middle Kimmeridge Micrite Limestone for a distance of 518 m) revealed a natural flow at 853 boe/d. A second flow period was undertaken with the well flowing naturally at 1587 boe/d. Based on the results of this flow test, it can isolate the water producing zone and establish commercial production under normal pumped production conditions.
