Planned well operations are being designed to remove an additional 4,000 barrels of fluid from the HRZ reservoir, using nitrogen lift. The company expects this will allow hydrocarbons to flow naturally from the shale to surface.
88 Energy said it expects the process to take between ten and 14 days to complete.
