Antero Utica wells look 'by far the best overall,' says RBC Capital
After the Ohio Department of Natural Resources released data on 91 net Utica wells that came online in Q1, RBC says Antero Resources' (AR) Utica wells looked to be "by far the best overall." The firm says Antero had five of the top 10 overall producers on a Boepd basis, and nine of the top 10 wells in terms of oil production alone. RBC views Gulfport Energy's (GPOR) wells as solid and notes Magnum Hunter (MHR) had the best well in the sample with a rate of 3,848 Boepd over eight days.
This should be a big year for news from the Utica Shale as a lot of wells are being connected to sales this summer.
