rocket to the moonAntero Resources continues to impress. The company is focused on drilling in the Marcellus and Utica Shale region–and it’s one of the biggest drillers with the most land under lease (450,000 acres between the two plays). No wonder the company’s IPO last October was such a hit (see Antero’s IPO Fetches $1.57B, Company Valued at $11B!). Yesterday Antero issued an update on their Marcellus/Utica drilling program.
