Figure 14.
(A) Lateral directions for 4811 existing horizontal wells, (B) well density, and (C) infill potential maps of the northeast core area in the Marcellus Shale. For this region, the typical well orientation is S20°E, which reflects the direction of minimum horizontal stress. Well density is the total number of horizontal wells that intersect each of the 1-mi2 grid cells. The infill potential is calculated using equation 8.
