As the EOG drill more wells, when they come across a unit which on first complete well, gives them no problems and produces enough to make them blush, then they drill the unit next to it and they get mediocre to barely commercially viable results: Would they A: keep drilling in the mediocre unit at another location to try to get something to come up and HBP B: Leave it and let it go since they had less than marketable results on the first try C: Keep drilling in the 'blushing' units drill them to the maximum # wells and produciton capacity, let the underproducing units leases expire since they did not find enough there, and no other EOG will be interested either since the output is not high enough?
The owners in the second low or no producing units can't do anything, since there is not enticing production, their leases expire and the other EOG are not interested.
Are there bottom feeder EOGs? They probably do not pay that much I would guess.
Step away from the turkey....
