The Economics of Refracturing
Most organic shale operators and capital providers believe that refracs cannot compete economically with new wells.
If production from actual refracs and infill well protection is considered, the combined NPV10 is higher than that of a new well in several of the areas studied (Barba et al 2022 and 2023).
The two components of the uplift are reviewed here in greater detail than previous refrac economic analyses. For this evaluation, we looked at the Eagle Ford, Haynesville, and the Midland Basin Wolfcamp age organic shales.
