In Colorado but western slope gas field. 8 foot center to center conductor pipes. It’s a lot easier to cluster them when you don’t need a pump jack on surface.

Good god , how are they not worried about wells communicating? Do they have to shut in the entire pad for any work? We had issues in the haynesville with tanking wells while we were fracking and wild horse (1 not 2) would shut in the whole field to rework because they were so worried about it.

Never saw a conductor have communications on that project (saw it on a freeze ring project I was on). We had 2 more deeper casing strings to establish the barriers. Once we would reach a certain depth we would start losing returns out there. When that happened we would start adding compressed air down the standpipe and mist drill. It was chaotic when we made the switch. It was like you were drilling an entirely different well at the flip of a switch. Of course normal well control goes at out the window in that scenario. When the flare would light off we knew we were getting gas back while drilling.
