... and EUR performance over wells that were shut-in. Analyzing the performance of the largest field (Cygnet with 32 wells), with respect to lateral length, the results pointed to shorter wells that were shut-in exhibiting the poorest performance, where the wells' EUR performance degraded by 7% on average...

... Abstract Over the past decade, operators have significantly increased unconventional well performance through drilling longer laterals. While longer lateral length is known to benefit production, the exact efficiency of the additional length is a subject of much debate, in part due...

Our results show that hydraulic fracturing water use intensity (HFI), true vertical depth, lateral length, sandstone facies, and formation thickness are the top five variables driving the first year productivity (stb/1000ft). For the existing producing...

Significant relations were observed between production performance and lateral length, true vertical depth, porosity and fracture fluid intensity. The methodology presented...

... Abstract In recent years, operators have been pumping more and more proppant per stimulated foot while simultaneously increasing lateral lengths. In order to mitigate the resultant costs and logistical difficulties, operators and service companies have switched to lower cost ‘in-basin’ sands...
