Devon has been criticized by many for its timid approach in the TMS. Their program of short laterals and low # proppant in all its TMS wells has produced lackluster results in comparison to Encana and Goodrich - yet Devon continued to drill and complete numerous wells in the same manner with the same results - now it is rumored that they are pulling out of the TMS. Anyone know why their approach never changed even when others around them were having success with longer laterals and 2-3x the proppant? I realize cost is a factor but if you know these wells are expensive to drill,why continue to drill on the cheap and get poor results while others are doing the opposite all around you?

Everyone needs to choke back to get some gas off the market so we can get the price back up to a level that will sustain continued drilling. $4.00 dollar gas is not good for the operator or the royalty owner.

Just wanted to make sure y'all have caught this discussion posted by JHH. Dow Jones article where Devon confirms that they are experimenting with choking back the initital production on thier most recent E.TX wells with the goal of improved long-term performance:
