akk takeover target halcon must be looking, page-9

"Just remember we have already 2 wells on Pathfinder. The initial vertical wildcat, then the straight into the first hori to save $500k on drill rig."

Hadn't forgotten the Vertical but its not a producer. I think the option was always to complete as HZ but that was back when money was tight. My guess is as you say it'll get reamed out and a lateral drilled quick smart, gotta be the cheapest next move at PF.
