This belongs on yesterday's Jack 2 posting, but I'm afraid I'm too late for that. Maybe one of the oil industry people can tell me what it means that Jack 2 "tested at 6000 bpd"? Is this oil extracted? If so, what is done with it? If not, how is this flow measured and how accurate is this measurement?" (sorry if this was explained somewhere and I missed it.)

Hummingbird, there just wasn't enough detail released on the test to figure out the real potential of the Jack 2 well. Its obviously very promising, but the news release did not say how long the test lasted and the beginning and ending pressures at the well head which would indicate the size of the reservoir and the potential for production. Drill stem tests are no where near accurate, the pressure needs to be monitored for a length of time after the plugs and tubing are in place to determine the potential of a well.

presumably they flowed the oil into a tank and flared the gas the duration of the test is a mystery at a rate of 6000 barrels per day
