While we wait, you might enjoy reading this latest report from EOG, one of THE BIG operators in Eagle Ford.

Granted these latest wells are an average of 400ks from Burleson, but it is good to read what is happening in other sectors of Eagle Ford and how with improved technology EOG have improved an already productive resource by over 4 times. The numbers are mind boggling for a tiddler like AKK, but, what an incentive??

I reckon that with Birch, AKK will enjoy a very highly productive asset.

South Texas Eagle Ford
The single largest source of EOG's extraordinary crude oil production growth in 2013 was its mammoth South Texas Eagle
Ford play. EOG increased well productivity and initial production rates by augmenting its technical knowledge of shale
resources and the associated completion processes. Based on these significant improvements, EOG increased the net
potential recoverable reserve estimate on its crude oil acreage by 45 percent to 3.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BnBoe) from 2.2 BnBoe. While continuing to decrease spacing between wells in certain areas, the average net reserves per well increased to 450 thousand barrels of crude oil equivalent (Mboe) from 400 Mboe.

Recent Eagle Ford wells include the Boothe Unit #3H, #4H and #17H in Gonzales County, which began initial production during the fourth quarter at 2,630 to 3,375 barrels of crude oil per day (Bopd) with 365 to 520 barrels per day (Bpd) of NGLs and 2.1 to 3.0 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of natural gas.
The Rudolph Unit #1H was turned to sales at 4,230 Bopd with 505 Bpd of NGLs and 2.9 MMcfd of natural gas. The Nichols Unit #3H had an initial crude oil production rate of 3,830 Bpd with 390 Bpd of NGLs and 2.3 MMcfd of natural gas. In Karnes County, the Fleetwood Unit #1H and #2H began production at 3,630 and 3,435 Bopd with 345 and 350 Bpd of NGLs, respectively, and 2.0 MMcfd of natural gas each. EOG has 100 percent working interest in these seven wells.
The Wilde Trust Unit #1H, #2H and #3H, completed in the second quarter 2013, had combined cumulative production of over 960,000 barrels of crude oil over a 200-day period. EOG holds a 100 percent working interest in these Gonzales County wells.
Southwest of Gonzales and Karnes counties, the Naylor Jones Unit 42 #1H, #2H and 60 #2H began production at rates ranging from 1,755 to 2,050 Bopd with 195 to 205 Bpd of NGLs and 1.1 to 1.2 MMcfd of natural gas in McMullen County. In La Salle County, the Further Unit #1H and #2H had initial crude oil production rates of 2,605 and 2,550 Bpd with 125 and 155 Bpd of NGLs and 725 and 900 thousand cubic feet per day (Mcfd) of natural gas, respectively. EOG has 100 percent working interest in these five wells.
"To put our Eagle Ford position in simple terms, our current reserve potential is almost four times what we estimated four years ago when EOG discovered the play. With approximately 7,200 total identified individual net well locations, we still have about 6,000 net wells to drill across EOG's 120-mile crude oil window," Thomas said. "Our in-house talent keeps finding ways to
improve development of this world-class shale asset where we hold a critical mass of very desirable acreage. This gives EOG a lot of running room to produce better and better results over a long period of time."
