Choke Rate Explanation/Discussion

"Choke rates" are being discussed regularly with respect to the many wells that are being drilled and the reported wells to date. Can someone provide an explanation of what all that means?

I am aware that the O&Gs will have to restrict production from a well based on numerous factors, including capacity to transport the natural gas through available pipelines. However, any other color or discussion would be appreciated.

One thing that has not been mentioned here is the damage that can occur in high pressure wells that is produced when the pressure differential between the rock and the bore is greater than the strength of the rock. This typically occurs in loosely consoladated sands causing excess sand production that requires a workover at the least and possibly the loss of the well in total. By chocking the well such that the pressure drop is reduced this damage can be avoided.

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…
