The current focus is on full-field development, using customized well spacing and stacking patterns adapted through reservoir analysis. We operated seven rigs and two frac crews on average during 2024, resulting in 182 operated wells being drilled and 154 operated wells brought online. During 2024, net production in 2024 averaged 244 MBOED.
