Objective Play

The Objective Play is the deepest geological play that the well targeted with any reasonable chance of economic success, as interpreted by our in-house geotechnical staff. All well events, for a given well, have the same Objective Play. This play assignment is crucial to determining statistics such as chance of success, because all well events, not just those resulting in production, need to be incorporated into the calculations. See Play Assignments for an illustrated example.

Producing Play The Producing Play is the geological play assigned to any producing or potentially productive event, as interpreted by our in-house geotechnical staff. A well with multiple events can have multiple producing plays. This play assignment provides a means to examine all available data regardless of the target. See Play Assignments for an illustrated example.
Primary Completion (P) Completions within the Objective Play are considered Primary Completions.
Secondary Completion (S) Completions uphole of the Objective Play are designated as Secondary Completions.
