While on a trip yesterday somewhere between Rockport and Sinton, Texas, I saw several dual pumps, two pumpers maybe 20 feet from each other. Had not seen that previously and am confused why that would be. Can anyone help? ---

Could both be pumping from different zones. Cheaper to use one pad. ---

This is the norm now with the horizontal drilling, the operator can drill several wells from one pad as long as he has the acreage to drill. In Karnes County I have seen up to 5 pumping units off of one pad. Oil Wells.pdf (371.4 KB) ---

Well I had not thought about that, sure makes sense though. Thanks for the clarification. ---
