Production Casing Size. Does Size Matter?

Reading well data on Sonris, I've noticed that some wells have a production casing of 4&1/2 inches; and others have 5&1/2 inches. With the well depths being very close (give or take 500 feet), why the difference in casing. Anyone have an answer? Thanks in advance.

I heard that Chesapeake has bought all the 5 1/2 up for the next year or so. Could be why others are using smaller pipes sizes. Just a rumor.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
