| General Comments: |
|
| Cost-Benefit Analysis: |
“Increased efficiency results in lower fracturing costs.†and it "...keeps costs down while protecting the environment." |
| BMP Efficacy: |
“Multiwell pad drilling exponentially reduces the number of required well sites, cuts down on vehicle traffic, and reduces land disturbances for access roads and trenching for gathering lines and production infrastructure.†|
