Expected impact: Added over two years of high-quality core drilling inventory at an attractive cost of approximately $2 million per net location.
Allocating capital to the SCOOP Woodford and Springer liquids-rich zones in Oklahoma to increase exposure to condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
Expected impact: Boosts liquids production to an estimated 18.0 to 21.0 MBbl per day, enhancing top-line revenue realization relative to dry gas.
