Ator Lease drilling completed, Frac jobs pending


Devon reports that the fracing of at least one of the Ator lease wells is likely to occur in November. That well has "frac valve" tops now in place (shown in picture). For the time being, the other well has a different "christmas tree" top until the frac process is to begin. As is normal, estimates of the economic potential of these wells is not being disclosed by the company. Even so, the completion of successful frac jobs are necessary to make a determination.
