WILDCATTING RAY'S WAY

摘要

Dallas-based wildcatter Ray L. Hunt is one of the biggest contrarians in the business, never one to follow the herd. He says he's learned not to waste time worrying about what he may have missed—such as the Barnett shale in his own backyard—and he avoids the status quo. Exploring where others do not go is a specialty upon which he thrives. "It's fascinating. This is the only business I know where on January 1, you know the majority of your decisions in the next year are going to be mistakes [due to dry holes]. "
