The fve-year landmark operating agreement followed months of negotiations (see Shale Daily, Jan. 27). It imposes more stringent regulations than Colorado requires for horizontal wells covering eight pads, fve in town and three adjacent, Encana spokesman Doug Hock told NGI’s Shale Daily. “The Denver-Julesburg Basin wells in the Erie area are one of the company’s original assets from its inception in 2002.”
