Try to Stay Ahead of the Production Curve
Install Units Which Turn Up / Down EasilyValve TraysVariable Speed Pumps
Use Multiple Trains if Possible
Stay as Flexible as Possible with the Process

Conclusions
All Shale Gas is Not the Same
Watch out for Nitrogen in Shale Gas
Anticipate Large Increases in Processing Capacity
