Title: Each well pad should be smaller when there is a central frac pad.
Text: Centralized Fracturing & Water Piping: "This central frac pad will serve many well pads, up to four miles away. Therefore, each well pad can be smaller, because it no longer has to be constructed large enough to hold many frac tanks."
