that is a good explaination. when one realizes the complexity of performing a 12 stage frac job, the mind boggles. so imo, the variations are mainly a function of regional and random variations in reservoir quality, probably mainly (natural) fracture intensity, and random variations in where the hydraulic fractures are propagated.
