SM Energy Company (SM) recently released an update on the Granite Wash, located in Beckham County, OK:
The company plans to invest $60 million in 2011 in horizontal wells targeting the Marmaton and Missourian washes (also collectively referred to as the Granite Wash) in Beckham County in western Oklahoma. Two (2) operated drilling rigs will be required next year to execute on this program. SM Energy will operate over 65% of this activity. The economics of these projects benefit from the contribution of higher BTU natural gas and condensate in the production stream.

McKenzie County, ND: Bakken Shale Update
By Andrea: http://oilshalegas.com
SM Energy Company (SM) recently announced that they plan to invest roughly $170 million, or approximately 20% of its drilling capital, in 2011 on projects targeting the Bakken and Three Forks intervals in the Williston Basin. SM Energy plans to operate two (2) drilling rigs through the first half of next year, with the addition of a third rig planned at mid-year. Substantially all of this activity is expected to occur in McKenzie and Divide counties, North Dakota. Operations in McKenzie County will focus on the horizontal Bakken wells in the Company's Raven prospect area in the western portion of the county, with SM Energy operating approximately two-thirds of this activity. Activity in Divide County will target the Three Forks interval and will be entirely operated by the Company.

Webb County, TX: Eagle Ford Shale Update
By Andrea: http://oilshalegas.com
SM Energy Company (SM) recently released an operational update on the Eagle Ford Shale located in Webb and LaSalle County,TX:
SM Energy Company (SM) plans to begin 2011 operating two (2) drilling rigs on its high working interest 165,000 net acre position in Webb and La Salle counties in South Texas. Over the course of the year, the Company plans to ramp its operated rig count to four (4) drilling rigs, the vast majority of which will target portions of the acreage containing rich gas and condensate. Most of the wells planned for the year will be in the Briscoe and Galvan Ranch program areas where SM Energy has been active during 2010. A higher level of activity is also planned for La Salle County, Texas in order to de-risk and delineate that portion of the Company's acreage. In addition, a number of projects such as retained energy fracture stimulations and reduced spacing pilots are planned for next year across the play. Projects in the Eagle Ford shale program make up the largest portion of the Company's facilities budget of $65 million.
In the partner-operated portion of SM Energy's 84,500 net acre position prospective for the Eagle Ford shale, seven (7) rigs are currently being operated by the Company's partner, Anadarko Petroleum Company (APC). For 2011, SM Energy anticipates that Anadarko will operate an average of ten (10) rigs for the year.
SM Energy has allocated approximately $500 million for drilling investment in its total Eagle Ford shale position for 2011. Based on the activity levels contemplated above, capital expenditures net to the Company would be in excess of this amount next year. The Company is initiating a marketing process to sell down or joint venture a portion of its total position in the play, which will lead to a smaller amount of net investment in 2011. Bank of America Merrill Lynch has been engaged to market the Eagle Ford shale package on behalf of the Company. Although details of the composition of the sale package are still being determined, SM Energy currently estimates that it will sell roughly 20% to 30% of its total acreage position and that as a result the net spending for 2011 will be approximately $500 million after adjusting for capital expenditures associated with divested properties and possible drilling carries.

Eagle Ford Shale Pipeline
By Andrea: http://oilshalegas.com
Targa Resources Partners LP (NGLS) recently reported that they will be developing a pipeline to transport natural gas in the Eagle Ford Shale to Mont Belvieu, Texas. They signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with TexStar Mistream Services, LP and TEAK Midstream, LLC for the development of the new pipeline:
Upon consummation of the transaction, Targa Resources Partners would expect to become an owner in the new y-grade pipeline that would provide transportation services from natural gas processing plants in the Eagle Ford shale area, including a TEAK gas plant and a TexStar gas plant, into Mont Belvieu, Texas. The new y-grade pipeline would be designed to provide additional capacity to customers in the Eagle Ford shale area. Additionally, the y-grade pipeline would be designed to accommodate a future extension into the Permian Basin area of West Texas to provide y-grade transportation services to that growth region.
CBF would be expected to expand by 100,000 barrels per day, with commencement of operations expected in late 2012. The 100,000 barrel per day expansion would be an addition to the current 78,000 barrel per day expansion at CBF, which is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2011. Upon the completion of both expansions, the y-grade fractionation capacity of CBF would be approximately 353,000 barrels per day.
TEAK would be expected to install and operate a new cryogenic natural gas processing plant with approximately 200 MMcf per day of processing capacity and TexStar would be expected to install and operate a new cryogenic natural gas processing plant with approximately 300 MMcf per day of processing capacity. TEAK and TexStar would expand existing gas gathering systems that supply the new natural gas processing plants. The two plants would be expected to produce approximately 50,000 barrels per day of y-grade. Combined, the two processing plants and the gathering systems behind them would serve twelve counties in the liquids rich Eagle Ford shale of South Texas.

Marathon Oil (MRO) Eagle Ford Shale - Atascosa County
By Tim - http://oilshalegas.com
Marathon Oil Corporation (MRO) is getting involved in the Eagle Ford Shale specifically in Wilson County Texas and Atascosa County Texas.
Marathon Enters Eagle Ford Shale Play - Entry Builds on Company's Strategy Targeting Unconventional, Liquids-Rich Resource Plays.
Nov. 29, 2010 - Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO) announced today that it has completed an agreement with Denali Oil & Gas for entry into the Eagle Ford Shale formation in Wilson and Atascosa counties, Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, Marathon will pay Denali $10 million as well as drill and complete four wells to earn approximately 17,000 net acres. Marathon also has the option to purchase Denali's remaining 58,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford Shale in these two counties. If Marathon executes this option, the full 75,000 net acres, including the initial payment, carried well interest and lease extensions, will cost approximately $2,800 per acre or a total of approximately $209 million. Marathon has until Oct. 31, 2011, to exercise this option.
In the event Marathon does not exercise its purchase option, Denali has the option to sell the remaining 58,000 acres to Marathon. The total cost under this option, including the initial payment, carried well interest and lease extensions, would be $92 million or approximately $1,225 per acre. Denali has until the later of Nov. 15, 2011, or 15 days after the completion of the final well, to exercise this option. This agreement covers all of Denali's acreage in Wilson and Atascosa counties but excludes Denali's 25,000 acres in Gonzales and Fayette counties.
"Since acquiring our first shale assets in the onshore U.S. market in 2006, Marathon has developed substantial expertise that we can apply to emerging plays like the Eagle Ford and create more opportunities for mid- and long-term profitable production growth," said Dave Roberts, the Company's executive vice president, Upstream. "This new entry reinforces a key element of our Upstream strategy of targeting unconventional, primarily liquids-rich resource plays providing low-risk, scalable growth."
