Analysis of results from drilling on Ireland's Barryroe oil discovery suggest the field could flow at up to 12,500 barrels a day of oil.

Barryroe field partners habe published new results on the reservoir characteristics of the Celtic Sea discovery which suggest horizontal production wells at the field would deliver “significant production rates.”

After further evaluation of data acquired by Schlumber from the 48/24-10z Barryroe well test, operator Providence Resources said the data was put through a wellbore modelling software system to work oiut potential production rates from a single horizontal well on the field.

“This analysis indicates that the tested basal oil bearing sandstone package is of high quality with an average test derived permeability of circa. 400 millidarcies, confirming the high productivity potential as demonstrated during the well testing operations,” Providence disclosed.
 
Based on this information, Providence has suggested that a single 1,000 foot (304 metres) horizontal well could deliver an initial production rate of 12,500 b/d of oil and around 11 Mmcf/d of gas. - equivalent to 14,300 boe/d, using standard 4.5-inch outer diameter production tubing under natural lift conditins.

“Further well deliverability analysis and optimization studies are ongoing to incorporate artificial lift which is expected to form part of the field development plan,”  Providence has indicated.

And the operator is aiming to provide update estimates for in-place oil volumes and recovera le reserves during the third quarter this year, while a concept development plan should be formulated by the fourth quarter.

Barryroe lies in a water depth of 100 metres (328 ft), 50 kilometres (31 miles) off Ireland's southern coast in the Celtic Sea. In Standard Exploration Licence 1/11. Providence operates the Barryroe licence with 80%, and its partners is Lansdowne Oil and Gas.
