Anyone, Is it known that multistage fracing is better in all circumstances?
I am not knowledgable on this at all but from data posted here and other references, it seems that multistage fracing yields better initial production rates but is also more costly to implement. What is the effect on ultimate recovery? Also, what about a variable such as the length of the h lateral? Is it possible that there is a cost benefit tradeoff here? Just asking. I accept as a given that Anschutz has capable/qualified staff that know what they are looking at in terms of their options. There must be some underlying facts that they are pondering. That they state that they are "leaning toward" multi indicates to me that it is a close call for some reason(s).
