Hydrocarbons is an interesting term. They have been using terms like flowed "gas and condensate" in the past. To slice and dice the PR a little they do say we are at or near the "gas/water" contact so that would indicate this to be a gas reservoir. If there is a heavier liquid zone in this gas reservoir it would be near or in the gas/water transition zone. So we might expect the well to produce gas, condensate/oil, and probably some water. Now to throw a little oil on the fire:
Do you see the flame falling out of the flare line and going to the ground? That is burning liquids. The flame above is burning gas. Flare looks like a relatively small flow rate.
We are drilling a small hole, probably about 4 1/4" . The additional drilling will be to evaluate the quality of the reservoir rock below the gas/water contact and perhaps to see how thick the limestone is. If they can drill that far.
