Devon Energy reports 3 successful PRB Niobrara HZs
One of the attractive attributes of Wyoming’s Powder River Basin is its multi-zone
potential. Presently, the most active oil target is the Turner formation, but operators are

In its Legacy West area in Weld
County, Colorado, Bonanza Creek’s
five-well K-22 pad that targets the

WS - Crescent Point Highlights - January 29, 2019
Crescent Point Energy’s
2019 budget is down 30% YOY, or
$500 million, at $1.2-1.3 billion. In
the “emerging and early-stage” Uinta
Basin in the US and eastern Duvernay
shale in Canada, allocations are
down to 15% of the total from 25%
last year, because of limited market
access in the Uinta and low riskadjusted returns at current oil prices
in the Duvernay. Crescent Point has
improved economics in its horizontal
Uinta program last year. Costs for
2-mile laterals dropped 10% YOY. The
company is...

Anadarko gains foothold in the Powder River Basin
Wyoming’s Powder River Basin is arguably the hottest emerging horizontal play
in the US, and Anadarko Petroleum wants in on the action. The company spent $76
million during 3Q18 on acquisitions in the play, where it has now built a position
exceeding 300,000 net acres at a cost of less than $2,500/acre.
Investor relations VP Robin Fielder told analysts in early November that the
PRB was “quickly coming into focus as a third leg to our onshore stool, due to the
competitive economics...
