5-acre spacing

Noel Parks - Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.

Just a couple of questions. And sorry if this was mentioned earlier and I happened to miss it. In the Central Basin Platform, especially thinking about the former Reno [ph] properties at Fuhrman-Mascho,, can you just talk a little bit about how down spacing has been going out there?

Matthew Grubb

Yes, down space. When we talk about down space, we're talking about 5-acre spacing. And in fact, it's going very, very well. We drill 199 wells in the first quarter in the Permian Basin, and roughly 125 wells were Fuhrman-Mascho, of which about 80 of them were 5-acre wells. And they're coming in right at our type curve projection. So the down spacing is working well, and we have plenty more of those locations to drill.
