RE: Marginal wells?
A well that produces a low volumes of oil. You take the volume, multiply it by the price of oil and compare it to the cost of producing that particular well. (pumping costs, maintenance, repairs, royalties, personnel, insurance, cost of water treatment and corrosion inhibitors, etc.. etc...)
A marginal well is one that is barely making a profit.
It changes daily as the price of oil changes.
