Operators must constantly balance between cost and production performance when planning wells within a portfolio. Longer larerals, more fracture stages, increased water and proppant usage are all factors that have been show to enhance production, but also markedly increase well cost. This analysis takes a look at capital efficiency using recent well completions in the Eagle Ford.
