9 Eagle Ford Shale Brown Trust Multipad Advantages of Multipad Development Reduces the number of parent-child relationships created over time Reduces the percentage of time wells need to be shut-in for offset completions over the project life Brown Trust multipad expected to result in 7%- 75% less parent well downtime relative to traditional 4-6 well pad development Minimizes number of times parent wells take frac hits over project life Existing Wells Multipad Wells Very important in areas where parent wells have been producing for extended periods of time as older wells are more susceptible to offset frac damage Results in better stimulation efficiency as fewer parent wells mean less ineffective frac fluid pumped during well completion Better multi-directional stress profile achieved during completion operations Completion crews
