Total lateral length within the section, pumped proppant and fluid, and production volumes are rolled up within each grid section and normalized by section area on a per-acre basis. Examples in the paper mainly use three-year cumulative oil production and simple...

... 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...

... longer and longer horizontal wells in the Permian Basin. Lateral lengths in the New Mexico Delaware Basin have increased by 60% in the last 5 years. To investigate the impact of lateral length on production performance and thus define the optimal length for the highest well value, a data-driven approach...

... 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...
