Henry, yes - EnCana plans to develop three sections with 14 extended lateral wells that appear to have average lateral lengths of ~ 7,600 ft.  I am assuming they are targeting these three sections because most of the acreage is controlled by a single land owner.

The part about the property being held by a single land owner really facilitates drilling Extended Lateral Wells?

It certainly makes it easier.

I don't know anything about drilling but looks to me like the potential for problems would increase significantly?

Bacon, I do not believe the addition of ~ 2500 ft to the horizontal lateral will cause any significant drilling issues.  There could be some additional challenges associated with the fracture stimulation.

The HK Hamel well didn't seem to have any drilling or completion problems.
