Abstract

The HGP-A well underwent a substantial work over last fall,. A new tie-back 7" casing was installed from surface to 3000 ft. A two week test was conducted in January, 1980, with full hydrogen sulfide and noise abatement. Preliminary test results showed a slight increase in total mass flow. Both noise and odor abatement were shown to be very effective. As a result of the two week test, some changes have been made to the final design, and the projected plant on line date has been extended to 3/31/80.
