I think they are just being conservative for the point of the exercise.
Some very very loose calcs ... Say 6 mill per new well and 2 mill per fix on each old well = 18 + 6 = 24 mill .... Round figure of 1/4 mill per week per well revenue = 1 mill per well per month (Total.. 6 mill per month) (I said they were loose!!)
