Good article that talks about issue of well spacing, particularly about “parent” and “child” wells. Bottom line, you want wells drilled and fraced at the same time. You don’t want to have to drill next to a well that has been producing for a while.

Was just at a Mid-Continent meeting and some of the talks were quite interesting regarding the parent-child relationship. One of their takeaways was that with older parent wells in production greater than a year, there were more problems with child interference and some talk of pressuring up the parent well before perf’ing the new wells. If the parent well had less than six months production, then the difference in parent child and negative interference is much less. More research to do.
