SWEPI performed the latest DT-1 state mandated test at a 13/64" choke.  The allowable production granted by the state was adjusted accordingly.  That's 1,501 mcf or 1.501 MMcf per day allowable production until the next test.

Ok, i was just wondering cause production has really dropped off so i thought maybe they were cutting it back to the minumum untill prices get higher.Cause Jan shows 77935 and then Feb only shows 2283. Doesnt look to good to me. Bu then again i am still trying to learn some of this.  ha ha

Unfortunately the DT-1 tests are reported only twice a year.  You may have to wait until the next to see if the choke has been adjusted.

will all wells in the area be tested and adjusted the same or are they allowed to flow freely

DT-1 tests are required by the state.  Operators tend to adjust choke settings as the well pressure declines but there can be a number of other reasons for restricting the flow of a well.
