Austin Chalk: Production Characteristics
In the Austin Chalk: Some wells continue to “de-water” and get better for months after they are drilled New wells give reserves to old wells When wells water out, sometimes you can get them back
In
other fields: When a well comes on line, it is as good as it will ever get New wells steal reserves from old wells When a well waters out, it is gone forever Austin Chalk has superior production characteristics compared to many other U.S. plays
