The maximum hydrogen sulphide (H2S) content would be 85.0 moles per kilomole (8.5 per cent) and the cumulative drilling H2S release rate would be 1.48 cubic metres per second (m3/s). During the completion and servicing of the proposed well, the release rate would be 2.09 m3/s, and the suspended/producing release rate would be 0.99 m3/s. The corresponding calculated emergency planning zones would be 3 kilometres (km) for the drilling release rate, 3.8 km for the completion/servicing release rate, and 2.29 km for the suspended/producing release rate.
