some more analysis of gretel & abercombie, page-8

K273, no probs mate.

Just a clarification to the last para of my answer to your question:

"So getting back to Gretel and wells within that zone where there may be fault lines (thats still assuming thats the problem) there is some scope to change the orientation by varying lateral length vs well spacing if they need to. Maybe thats the difference between Beck and Gretel, I dont know. Certainly 3D would be useful to determine that."

What I was referring to there was that the direction of fault lines, natural fracturing and other features in the source rock will be a consideration when companies choose the directional orientation of a well's lateral, and they have to balance that with the need to make the lateral as long as possible and fit within the selected well spacing.
