Thanks for that link.

In that blog post:

See graph below which is based on data from old wells. (Note that no information was provided as to where these vertical Eagle Ford shale wells were located and what completion methods were used.)

If those “old” wells are from before 2008, they are not from the Eagle Ford.

Eagle Ford was first drilled by Petrohawk (now owned by BPH Billiton) in 2008.

Sorry, I meant to include this in the previous post.

In that same blog post:

One Eagle Ford shale decline rate chart can be found here: Eagle Ford Well Decline Curve It shows EOG Resources wells (mostly in the oil window) peaking at around 350 BOE/D, and flattening out pretty fast after eight months to less than 100 BOE/D.

This is a rather quick drop down in rate, less than a 1/3 after less than 1 year.
