D. Gaar,

Thanks for this update. I am not at all familiar with these reports, but I see in one table that the shut-in pressure is reported as 9295, but the test pressure on 12/64 choke as 8619. Wouldn't the lower pressure be the one to report with the flow and choke numbers?

Agreed, that the more pertinent info is likely the open flow pressure rate rather than the shut in pressure - but best answered by Les or another here in the site.

That said, at 8619 open flow psi and the tight 12/64 choke, this seems to be a pretty good well even if the IP is under 10 mmcfd.

What I am confused about is that EOG, who has an interest in the well, reported that it was flowing at 21MMcfd on restricted choke.

Perhaps EOG's numbers were tested seperately, and on a much more open choke, than the official 12/64 restricted rate reported by Cabot for the official report?

I agree, I would hope that well turns out to be very respectable. jffree1 - is it possible that other tests were done (EOG's numbers?) that did not go in with the filed report?

I guess anything's possible. I sent a note to our favorite expert to see if he could shed some light on the huge difference between the PR and the state report. I guess I'll just have to wait for his response.
