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.

Permalink Reply by Les Bamburg on 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.

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…
