How does "choke" apply to how long the well produces or the strength of the well.

 

For example, our choke is listed at 22/64, 1176 BWD. In Sonris, it says we are 14,650 MCFD.

 

Just trying to figure out what it all means.

Bobby, I assume you are referring to the following well.  If yes, you also look at the flowing pressure in conjuction with the flow rate and choke size.  The smaller the choke size, the lower the rate but higher the flowing pressure which is measured upstream of the choke.  The well tested at a production rate of 14650 thousand cubic feet of gas per day (Mcfd) with a choke that had a 22/64" opening.  Haynesville Shale wells are initially produced on a choke to avoid damaging the formation or equipment.

 

This information indicates an excellent well given the flowing pressure is above 8000 psi.  The well would have probably tested at 20,000+ Mcfd on a slightly larger choke size. 

 

EnCana, Robert Rust 5 #H1 Well, Serial #242048, S5-T10N-R12W, DeSoto Parish, 14650 Mcfd, 22/64" Choke, 8127 psi Flowing Pressure

Les knows what he's talking about.
