Denver v Kansas21 Oct 2018 14:29
Denver risk of drilling 2 mile horizontal fraced well...Kansas risk of drilling vertical 0.5 mile conventional well....Denver well costs $5.5m...Kansas well cost $0.25m...Denver first year 110,000b x$70 = $7.7m.... Kansas well first year 890,000mcf x $7 = $6.2m. Denver second year 60,000 x$80 =$5.5m....Kansas 890,000 x $6 = $5.3m
Denver running costs of horizontal franked well,and future refraction costs ..Denver running costs of vertical conventional well. Two years Denver $13.2m - costs. Kansas$11.5m -costs. So for me there's little in revenue but one costs a fraction Of The costs to deliver, if stated costs are correct you can drill 22 Kansas wells for each Denver well.so for out lay of capital and risk to the capital you take your pick.
