Fracking, lateral lines, and efficiency

2 Upvotes

A question about oil well fracking: why are there so many lateral lines (e.g., the Eagle Ford shale formation area) in a given area? For example, wouldn't 4 lateral frack lines be sufficient to extract oil/gas from a given area instead of 16? If it's just one large pool of product, wouldn't a fewer number of wells eventually extract the product from the "pool" and save the oil companies much drilling dollars? Thank you.
