EOG Resources Inc. has been the most active driller of the Austin Chalk in Karnes County, with 54 wells produced. Lidsky said the results from those wells show the play's renewed potential in the right places.
"[The wells have] a very impressive average rate of 3,900 [barrels of oil equivalent per day] online, 80% of which is oil. These are very, very economic wells," he said, noting that companies like Marathon Oil Corp., EnerVest Ltd., GeoSouthern Energy Corp. and Encana Corp. have also drilled into the play in the same area. "The industry has clearly cracked the code in Karnes County, with excellent results."
