You have to be very careful when comparing results from different operators. The choke size (in 64ths) must be noted. Some operators will open the choke almost all the way-- and then have fantastic results to report. But, then the well drops off very dramatically. SEA has always been very conservative-- they start production with a very tight choke. General consensus is that this is much better for the life of the well. They therefore will have lesser production to report in the beginning.

The key in comparing wells is to look at the initial choke size and then the numbers after 30 days, 60 days, etc.
