Natural Gas Shale Wells Drilled Now May Be Viable Until 2030

Motley Fool is reporting:

Motley Fool .... some shale gas wells in the U.S. could remain commercially viable until 2030.

For Bakken oil wells, EURs and rate of return is more important than how long a given well lasts, but the general consensus is that Bakken wells will produce for 39 years.  The "Basic Analysis of the Bakken" accomplished some years ago suggested that wells will be drilled into the Bakken through 2030 and will produce through 2100.
