Design smarter development plans with pre-built and customizable 4D well spacing models integrated into Enverus PRISM®. Analyze parent-child relationships and reservoir dynamics to increase EUR and drilling economics.
By optimizing spacing, you ensure maximum hydrocarbon recovery and limited parent-child well interference from your acreage, reducing stranded resources and increasing overall asset value.
Accurate spacing analysis helps mineral owners and investors forecast royalties, assess asset value and risk, and support smarter acquisitions, divestments, and financial decisions.
Drilling decisions impact millions in spend. Data-driven spacing reduces unnecessary wells and optimizes development timing, delivering higher returns and lowering cost per barrel.
One of the biggest challenges in developing oil and gas assets is predicting optimal well spacing. Analyzing the 3D distance and timing of parent-child well development and the resulting impact to well productivity is time consuming and labor intensive. Additionally, decisions on optimal well spacing are a complex function of multiple geological, engineering, operational and economic variables.
Spacing: Delivers pre-built, multidimensional spacing analysis using standardized datasets to quickly assess well interactions and optimize development at scale. It provides a fast, consistent view of spacing impacts without requiring manual configuration, integrated directly into PRISM workflows.
Spacing Studio: Allows full customization of your spacing assumptions within your area of interest (including distance, timing and lateral overlap). This added configurability enables you to run scenario-based models for forecasts and strategic planning that more accurately reflects your proprietary knowledge.
With Enverus Spacing, you receive outputs based on Enverus’ standardized assumptions for distance, timing and overlap. With Spacing Studio, those same outputs are generated using your own model assumptions, giving you control to define and adjust parameters so results reflect your unique development strategy.
Calculated Distance Metrics
Easily compare distances from a subject wellbore to its neighboring wells.
Timing Metrics
Understand the impacts of timing on well productivity with spacing metrics both at drill time and as the well exists today.
Zonal Metrics
Spacing metrics can be contextualized in terms of vertical zoning – Any Zone, Same Zone, Within 100’ Vertical, and Outside 100’ Vertical, to home in on impacts within and across zones.
Boundedness Metrics
Boundedness classifications are provided to identify which wells have neighbors on one, both or neither sides of a subject wellbore to quickly classify the impact to groups of wells developed similarly.
Parent/Child Relationships
Used to find the parent-child definition of a subject wellbore, whether the well of interest is a parent well, child well, co-completed or a standalone well, to identify optimal development patterns.
Well Density
Quantifies how closely spaced a subject well is to its near neighbors on a scale of 0-1.
Wells per Section
This number counts the number of wellbores that fall within a 2640’ (half-mile) radius, used to assess the net present value (NPV) of a section.
Implied Well Spacing
The Wells per Section value within a 2640’ radius if you were to fully develop a section using the closest horizontally spaced neighbor, used to quantify potential NPV of a section.
Closest Parents API*
Identify the API/UWI of the closest parents on either side of the target well.
Customizable Spacing Model*
Control neighboring Well Distance Range, Time Constraints for Well Relationships, Lateral Overlap Requirements, Wellbore Statuses included in the analysis.
* Spacing Studio Only
