Refining in 1980

Disparate units

Immature control

Low throughput & yield

Current shale gas landscape looks very much the same.

How do I know?…

I Was There…

Shale Gas Operations – Presently

13,000 new wells per year (35 per day)

U.S. Natural Gas Production 2000: 1% 2013: 23% 2030: 49%

Multiple wells (hundreds) needed at 1–6 wells per km2

Flow – sustained rates 50–250 Mcf/d

Initial production very high but declines 80% in first 12 months
