    Getting the well spacing and frac size right will still not fully optimize the recovery of the section. Recovery is often determined by how we draw the well down, relative permeability effects, wellbore trajectory, and frac hit damage. This session will go through different techniques on how to further our oil recovery in multiple reservoirs.
