 "about": "Long-lateral growth, 2015 to 2026. longLaterals: surveyed development wells (OG and confidential) with at least 13,200 ft of classified lateral, by spud year, from the DMR wells layer and survey downloads of 2026-10-17 (2026 is partial, to October 17). surveyedWells: all such wells with a survey and a spud date that year. longUnitsFirstOrder: spacing units whose footprint is three or four sections long, by the year of the first NDIC order linked to them (machine-extracted; 2026 to October 21). The study counted wells by first-production year instead; both series are in studyComparison.",
