The purpose of the Galoc-3 clean up and oil flow to surface was to confirm the integrity of the well and installed completion equipment as well as to ascertain the well’s ability to flow.
Pressure, temperature and flow rate data were recorded on surface and on subsurface gauges located down-hole, close to the reservoir. Nido’s preliminary analysis of the data confirms that the expected maximum flow capacity of the well is consistent with its range of predevelopment estimates.
Joanne Williams, Nido’s deputy managing director, said: We are excited to reach this important stage in the Galoc development project. The Galoc-3 well has flowed as designed and is now ready for production service.
