EP 3 · Optimizing Well Spacing to Maximize Horizontal Well Performance and Recovery

How close is too close when spacing horizontal wells? In this episode of The Novi AI Roundup, we break down one of the industry’s most important questions: well spacing. Drawing from our URTeC 2025 paper “Optimizing Well Spacing to Maximize Horizontal Well Performance and Recovery”, we explore how machine learning reveals the balance between tighter spacing, production uplift, and long-term recovery. From Wolfcamp to Spraberry, discover why one-size-fits-all spacing doesn’t work, and how AI is helping operators maximize recovery and economic performance.

This podcast episode is based on the technical paper “Optimizing Well Spacing to Maximize Horizontal Well Performance and Recovery”, co-authored by Ahmed Alzahabi, Alexander Trindade, Ahmed Kamel, and Kiran Sathaye. The paper was presented at URTeC 2025. Download the full paper here.
