Rockies operators report 'good things for the balance sheet'

摘要

Permian Basin operators were a hot draw at Enercom's The Oil and Gas Conference held in Denver in mid-August, but Bakken players likewise turned on the burners for investors. Whiting Petroleum Corp., Continental Resources Inc. and Oasis Petroleum Inc. each presented impressive economics over the four days of company presentations. In the operations realm, larger fracs and a higher-density drilling program have helped push Whiting's production to 93,400 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day, up 16% year-over-year.
