Are Crew's 8-1 and 12-9 Pads a Cube Style Development?Old Nagger I took a closer look at slide 31 in
Birchcliff's presentaion and I now believe that perhaps Crew is attempting a Cube Style approach for completing multiple Montney zones with the new 8-1 and 12-9 Pads. These Pads are drilling 10 wells to adjacent bottom hole locations at 2-10 and 7-10.
If you look at slide 31 in Birchcliff's presentation they used 14 wells to exploit 3 separate Montney zones. Crew could easily used their 10 wells to exploit 1, 2 or 3 Montney zones using the Cube strategy also.
Nice find Oldnagger, I apologize for being so quick to dismiss your idea. After looking at Encana's Cube approach, I took a second look at Birchcliff's and then the bottom hole locations on the Crew Pads and it all made sense.
If we are correct Oldnagger, that 8-1 Cube will have some freakin huge production rates with lower declines as it would be draining multiple reservoirs more effectively.
Fingers crossed that's what Crew is up to. Things just keep getting better.
