Yes, so if XEL got 150 bopd from a vertical and RKH get around 4000 bopd from a vertical you can see the difference between heavy and medium.

So if XEL got 2900 bopd from the recent horizontal then we can expect on future production wells around 15,000 bopd from RKH.


All we need for now is around 3000 bopd to 4000 bopd from this vertical well test.

Starting to move.

I really would not expect news until Monday 20th earliest.

IF the flow test started yesterday it would run for 24 hours, then it would be shut down for 24 hours to measure pressure build up and then it would be flowed again for another 48 hours.

So thats 4 days, and 4 days from Tuesday = Saturday.

So news should be next week sometime, all being well. Might not be Monday as they might want to make further measurements and data checks.

long time to hold your breath!

Nice fathers day prezzy though....

One of the rare steady risers.....

A big jump in shorts in Thursday, not surprising given market weakness and Greece, but shorts jumped upwards by an additional 400K by Thursday close - meaning a large lump of Thursdays volume was purely shorters.

This is the chat to Thursday close

Any rumours...leaks anyone ?....flow tests must be on going as we speak...any news from our man on the rig ?....

Post from the main man on III


EXTREMELY CONFIDENT

Hi,

Just as above says, I was confident before about the results of this test - but i'm upgrading that to a ridiculously EXTREME confidence fyi. EXTREMELY!!

Cheers,

and wtf does he know!

Do any of us!!

no we don't; hence my comment

meanwhile, as far as I can see, there is only serious buying interest around 260/261 ..... bids above that are fairly small

He knows more than you or I cynic.

is that because he says so lol!
my gut feeling is that RKH will indeed bring home the bacon, but having been slugged too often of late and the markets being a disaster, i am manfully resisting the temptation to top up
my holding is currently quite modest, but if the news is indeed good, then there'll still be plenty of time and headroom to add at that juncture

bring home the bacon , is that kosher ? lol

you get both kosher and halal bacon, though how the customers are meant to know what it should taste like is a moot point! .... a bit like vegetarian chicken

I hope those who do the deathly deed have a chance to have their throats cut and bleed to death at some stage in their life.,.

Is this the RKH thread or have I entered another dimension ?

it's been taken over by the aliens - we're all doomed!
