I don't think pipeline capacity is going to be a problem in the near future in Shelby & San Augustine County (if that is where your well is located and they can get to the new trunk lines). Tenaska 24", ETC, Enbridge, etc. That's good pressure. Good Luck!

Why does Encana's presentation say 32 MMcfe/d in the detail but have a circle with 25 in it on the well to represent 25 MMcfe/d on the graphic?

I wondered the same thing but I think it goes back to an earlier discussion where it was stated that they had (first) an IP of 25 MMcfd before they added some sort of valve (technical stuff... over my head) that improved the flow to 32 MMcfd. It will be interesting to see what they report to TRRC.

FGT, as Jffree1 stated EnCana added a second wing valve to the wellhead. This removed a flow restriction allowing the well rate to increase from 25 MMcfd to 32 MMcfd.

Sooner than later we are going to evolve to the second and third year of production then very one can compare that. The fact is 20-25-32 it was a good well!

Les,

In your opinion does this well indicate that this area is a great area or that ECA has "cracked the code" on the deeper high pressure areas or some of both?

Do you think they went with a shorter lateral because they are still working on the details. Would it make sense to get a handle on a shorter lateral before experimenting with a longer one.

Is the wing valve something common or something new?

Bobi, I would say both since EnCana has been making great completions in the southern portion of the Haynesville Shale and Bossier Shale plays including a 37 MMcfd well.

4000 ft is not really that short of lateral especially if they had many frac stages.

All wells flow thru at least one wing valve on the Christmas Tree but I would assume some of the higher rate wells could require to be produced thru two wing valves. I am not sure if this has occurred previously for a Haynesville Shale well.
