Completion details

In his application he describes the completion details of his infills. He includes wellbore diagrams and a discussion of lift installed.

He also discussed well placement and inter well spacing.

Production improvements

He extols the benefit of a reduced water cut in the infill well production. He shows incremental production profiles and reserves estimates.

And all applications are ground truthed to real UWIs. You won't find that in SPE papers.
