THE DELAWARE COMES OF AGE

摘要

Is it debutante time for the Delaware? The basin was the belle of the ball at Hart Energy's DUG Permian conference in Fort Worth in May, where it became evident that the Delaware Basin is coming of age in the cotillion of unconventional oil plays. Operators are pushing geologic delineation into the southern Delaware Basin in Reeves and Pecos counties, Texas, while optimizing completion techniques. This effort includes longer laterals and greater proppant loading along both sides of the Texas/New Mexico border, where the Wolfcamp Shale is increasingly a focal point for operators.
