Zusammenfassung:In most of the North American shale plays, gas has been developed in pads of one or a few wells. However, for a remote development like the Horn River Basin of northeastern British Columbia, Canada, the economics of this small-scale type of development are daunting, even though individual well performance has been encouraging. The requirement to develop pipelines, roads, compressors, camps and supply infrastructure drives up costs.
