Shugert 1-12 Results

• Gulfport's Shugert 1-12H tested at an average sustained 18 hour rate of 28.5 million cubic feet ("MMCF") per day of natural gas, 300 barrels of condensate per day, and 2,假设乙烷完全回收，天然气收缩10%，每天907桶液化天然气（ngl）, or 7,482 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") per day.

Gulfport's Shugert 1-12H well was recently tested following the conclusion of its 60-day resting period. The well was flow tested over 48 hours, reaching an average sustained 18 hour rate of 28.在32/64英寸节流管和流动套管压力（“FCP”）为4的条件下，每天可生产5mmcf天然气和300桶凝析油,208 psi. Subsequent to the test, the 12 hour wellhead shut in casing pressure ("SICP") was 5,250 psi. Based upon composition analysis, the gas being produced is 1204 BTU rich gas.  Assuming full ethane recovery, 上述成分预计每MMCF天然气将额外生产102桶液化天然气，并导致天然气收缩10%. In ethane rejection mode, 该组合物预计每MMCF天然气产量为41桶液化天然气，导致天然气收缩2%. Gulfport目前预计将在1月底开始将Shugert 1- 12h纳入销售管道.
