"These wells are neither cheap, nor long lasting. It requires more expensive wells and the wells don't last long a high flow rates. Which means you need more of them; we have to keep drilling just to hold a steady flow rate."

Well, I think economics would dictate that as demand continues, the cost of such wells would drop, and we would have a lot more wells producing even at the lower rates.

What "is" the typical production curve for one of these guys.
