There is no set time frame for how long a vertical well can produce - it all depends on the quality of the zone that the well is completed in plus the economics (i.e. oil prices vs operating costs).
No way of knowing where and if SWN will be drilling horizontals. Suggest you look at SWN website to get a feeling as to their present interest in the Brown Dense.
Plus look over other blogs / postings on this topic
Thank you Rock Man. I fear horizontal drilling; trying to be eco-responsible. I have been told that horizontal drilling is not cost responsible in the brown dense rock.
