Vikings DU #1H had an IP of 8.914 MMcfd on a 16/64 choke with 9000# flowing pressure.  I don't think the 2H well has been drilled yet.

jffreel:

What are the likely production scenarios for the operator of a well like the Dikings DU #1H.  Will they cut way back on production due to the low gas prices?  Will they produce it at full throttle?  Or will they produce it somewhere in-between?  

I am guessing that if the prices were $6 or so for gas, then they would produce it at a fairly high level, but one that was safe for the long term health of the well.  Is this correct? If so, how rapidly would the well's production naturally decline from IP of 8.9 MMcfd over the next year, 2 years, etc.?

Thanks for you good info.

Viking #1 completed and tested 9/21/2011.  8914 mcf/day on 16/64 choke.  Has been producing ever since.  No indication that viking#2 has been drilled only permitted.

So glad to hear about new/continued activity in Nac County.  Now just pray for higher prices.
