I agree I’m just saying it takes time to catch up.
“I agree I’m just saying it takes time to catch up.”
It does, and you have that time available on conventional vertical wells.
Horizontals die so fast you DON’T have time to catch up. That’s why it is so frantic. If you take time to get nat gas capture infrastructure into place, the oil output is avalanching so fast from your multiple wells that you start to lose enough cash to fund that infrastructure.
These shale plays are very short lived things. You gotta do them. The oil doesn’t do anyone any good underground. But they are not going to change anything. They will peak and fall. Steeply.
