As an aside, is an 8 well pad considered huge in the Permian? I know of 60+ gas well pads in Wyoming but have a lot more experience with gas than oil.
Yes, 8 wells to a pad is as large as I've seen, guessing it's about 5 acres or so. Never seen or heard of a 60 well pad....must be enormous. Got any pics?
No pics but google the Jonah Field. Lots of 20-30 gas well pads and some up to about 60 wells. The multi well pads are roughly 20-25 acres after interim reclamation but the pads with lots of wells may be bigger. Most all are directional and horizontal well bores, obviously spiderwebbing the subsurface. If you’re referring only to vertical wells, 8 is the most I know of on a single pad.
