"There are two ways to define plateau: either demand or supply driven," Executive Director with the Hamm Institute for American Energy Ann Bluntzer told S&P Global Energy Platts on the sidelines of the CERAWeek conference. "Different producers are making decisions to act independently, possibly not continue drilling and exploring, and a lot of that is based on demand. Some of those reserves are not as profitable as they once were, and that creates a scenario where a plateau can be financially driven."

Stuff To Think About
This Novi chart was part of a bunch of work showing that pressure depletion is alive a thriving in the Delaware Basin too...a close to 10% decline in IP180s in 2025 in many benches. For HZ laterals drilled in the three-mile range, from 2020 -2025 at month 60 80% +/- of EURs are realized.
The best county for these length laterals was Lea, and second best, Eddy County. There was another chart to see in the study showing the best bench(es) were Bone Springs where in many sweet spots porosity could exceed 22%.
THAT's the problem with regard to parent/child degradation and pressure depletion, even where wells are not drilled excessively close to one another, they still interfere with each other because rock quality is so much better than the rest of the Permian.
