Yesterday Eclipse Resources, a Marcellus/Utica pure play driller headquartered in State College, PA, held an analyst day to share an operational/financial update for 2017. Net production in 2017 averaged 310 million cubic feet per day (nearly a third of a billion cubic feet)–a 36% increase over 2016. Proved reserves at the end of 2017–the gas in the ground that is feasible to extract using today’s technology at today’s prices–was 1.46 trillion cubic feet equivalent, more than double the end of 2016. In 2017 Eclipse drilled 29 wells with an astounding lateral (the horizontal part of the well) length averaging 13,600 feet! Eight of those wells have laterals OVER 19,000 feet!! That’s longer than 3.6 miles!!! Eclipse is the reigning champ/record-holder for drilling the longest onshore lateral in the WORLD. Below is yesterday’s 2017 update along with a whopping 84-page PowerPoint used to discuss the update, chock-full of great charts and graphs…
