RE:Average life span of gas wells increased exponentiallgijo333 wrote: The Lifespan of a Well
Today, the average life of a natural gas and oil well is 20 to 30 years, although technology is emerging that may enable the industry to nd new ways to extend the life of wells – perhaps by as much as 10 to 20 additional years by refracing a well multiple times.
The production phase is the longest phase in the life of a well. Initially, activity is high with frequent visits by staff and trucks hauling equipment and produced oil. After this initial period, the activity is reduced signi cantly. Staff and trucks visit the well for periodic maintenance, operations inspections, liquids hauling from storage tanks on the well sites and production monitoring. New technology is enabling operators to install remote production monitoring systems, which reduce activity at the well site.

Most of these fields are over 40 yrs old.. They are reaching the end of their life span. Hmmmm, has BRS hit something big or bust...
