Title: Centralizing production facilities provides a variety of benefits.
Text: Offsite, Centralized Production Facilities: "The Result: Year-round truck traffic to each individual well is significantly reduced.... Therefore, you may be able to use lower road standards which may result in less loss of habitat.... There is less disturbance to wildlife because large haul trucks are not running to each well location during critical wildlife time periods to collect fluids."
