At the same time, the company’s June presentation indicated the firm is running 2 rigs in the third quarter, one in the deep gas area of the STACK play and one in the Red Fork in Western Oklahoma. The report stated there are “promising results from private offset operators who have already delineated the play.” Mach also believes there is potential to increase to 3 rigs in the fourth quarter by adding a second deep gas rig optionality to resume Oswego drilling with moderate oil price recovery.
