Reliance’s vertical drilling program is focused on 60,000 acres in Martin, Andrews and Ector counties. “In most of our wells, we complete the Atoka, Strawn, Cline, Wolfcamp, Dean, Spraberry, and Clearfork,” he notes. “The wells typically cost $2 million to drill with an average depth of 11,800 feet.” In general, West says the wells initially produce more than 100 barrels of oil and 400 Mcf of gas a day, and have estimated ultimate recoveries averaging 215,000 barrels of oil equivalent, with 85 percent of the production liquids and oil.
