ExxonMobil’s Delaware "cubes" raise the bar and underpin targets
Report summary
ExxonMobil’s 'cube' development strategy in the Delaware is unlike anything ever attempted in tight oil. Scale and speed are the primary differentiators, both in terms of total rig count, drilling times, and well density per section. Other E&Ps have tried similar spacing, but struggled. ExxonMobil's wells are young, but productivity results are overwhelmingly positive. All this despite some brewing cynicism to the competitions Wolfcamp and Bone Spring 'cube' projects.
