…And it’s just keeps getting bigger, thanks to:

Down-Spacing (more wells, drilled closer together) & Pad Drilling (where multiple wells are drilled from the same pad)

Top Questions Asked about the Eagle Ford

1. What are the sizes of the proration units for the Eagle Ford Shale Fields?

Presently, the proration units range from 40 acres to 640 acres. Need to review the individual field rules for each of the Eagle Ford Shale Fields.

2. Explain why a surface location for horizontal wells is not required to be located on the lease that is being drilled?

Many wells are being drilled horizontally or deviated from offsite locations to reach potential producing horizons that may be beneath city parks, water bodies or housing developments, where a surface location may not be desirable or available. It is not unusual for an operator to obtain surface rights from which to drill a well from an adjacent, more desirable location.

We can’t believe idiots like this at Cornell University are teaching our children…
“Shale Gas is more destructive to the environment than coal”??

Professor Robert Howarth must be connected to the Coal Lobby.

Peer review comments: “…greatly exaggerated many parameters and assumptions….”

Using only brackish and/or recycled water, Apache is able to address the shortage of water in West Texas. Reusing frack water is a a double whammy. Protects our precious water supply and saves money. Water disposal costs upwards of $2.50/barrel, while the cost of recycling water is around 29¢/barrel.

It’s a packed house today at the Eagle Ford Production, Artificial Lift & Choke Management Congress 2014.

Sharing case studies fresh out of the field, the information is real time and real word as we hear from top industry experts and Eagle Ford operators like Pioneer Natural Resources, Primera Energy, Austin Exploration, Murphy Oil, Texas American Resources and Carrizo Oil & Gas talk about the criteria used to achieve optimal artificial lift to keep wells performing at peak levels, after the initial flow rates decline.

It’s all about maximizing oil recovery, flow rate efficiency, and the barrels of oil produced per day.

The conference producers are enhancing the presentations by encouraging direct questions from the delegates via microphones throughout the room.  Delegates (industry experts themselves) are asking panel members to expand upon case studies being presented as well as any other questions they may have.

We’re hearing terms like Rod Pumps – Gas lift – Plunger Lift – Toe Up versus Toe Down – Frac Hits – Offset Fracs

Folks are talking about the problems they’re having with sand. Average lateral lengths on the horizontal part of the well bore in the Eagle Ford are 4,000 to 5,000 feet, with 17 to 20 frac stations at about 10,000 feet of depth.
