marathon and eog have been promoting huge P@#$ing competitions on the ips of their respective wells, and as we well know, texon has demonstrated excellence in IP's in mcmullen almost as a solitary winner in those stakes.
BUT!!!!! .........
EOG, whom is also in the oil window, like texon, has a few success they have been touting to the media.
the two wells mentioned in the release are side by side on 4000 feet of horizontal completions and 573 feet apart
we know that there is extreme negativity on the mcmullen acreages from potential buyers due to the disastrous completions of swift and a few others on the boundary to our acreages, terry swift a few weeks ago admitted to the failures and elaborated as to what they did wrong.. so it was not geology, but mechanical issues!!! extremely important in terms of how to value the oil play.
eog is not experiencing any of the troubles the other efs operators are having in mcmullen, and like texon are exceeding expectations of their peers...
imho it is feasible for texon to again improve with frac processes.
