Calculations:
Total in-place hydrocarbon = 516.3319986 million hydrocarbon volumes
Recoverable reserves = 206.5327994 million hydrocarbon volumes
Volume produced per day by a well = 5000 hydrocarbon volumes
Production at this rate from 1 well for 15 yrs. = 27.375 million hydrocarbon volumes
Number of wells needed = 18 or 19 wells
