The usual reason for shutting in production of HA wells is the impending frack ops for near by horizontal wells.  I note several near by well groups with live work permits for completion operations.  Operators generally want to shut in wells in order for formation pressures to increase before the fracks start in those near by wells.

Guess I shouldn’t? be surprised w/ the vagary here the CHK land man’s reply “The referenced wells have been temporarily curtailed.”

Sounds like a customer service rep instead of a landman.  A landman would have used the term "shut in".  I've never heard one use the term "curtailed".

Total agreement Skip, just wordsmithing IMO & if I hadn’t sent the email direct to the original landman that contacted for me for my participation  decisions w/ these two wells I would’ve said it was sent by a CSR type also.
