One of its producing wells, LANOT4 well, had GCR (Gas Condensate Ratio) of 14,000 vol/vol and a 50% water cut with 1% salinity (NaCl equivalent). A buried 10 ” flowline transported the well stream 1.6 km from LANOT4 to a separator whose internal conditions could be inside the hydrate stability zone during the mild
