TOPIC: Emerging Plays & Activity Highlights around select Lower 48 Basins

ABSTRACT: As core inventory in primary zones continues to deplete across the main basins and plays, operators looking to add additional economic inventory locations to their portfolio are testing a variety of zones, both old and new, with varying degrees of success. Whether it’s testing out new benches in old areas, testing old benches in new areas, or extrapolating learnings and play concepts from one basin to another, this talk will dive into some of the “up and coming” plays that operators are focusing on in the Permian, Mid-Continent, and beyond.
