- Can you comment a little on your competitors El Paso and BHP?
- Do you foresee any constraints for services you need given the competition around the area?
- How many wells per section do you believe you can get up to?
- What do you expect to be necessary capital expenditures for infrastructure needs going forward?
- What are the major obstacles you’re working with as far as completing wells right now?
- How much fracturing fluid have you been recovering?
- Approach is one of the first companies using stacked laterals, how are you looking at drilling and designing that?
- What are the monthly operating costs you’re seeing on the horizontals and what do you think you can get that down to?
- When would you bring additional horizontal rigs in?
- Based on your current stacking levels, what would be going too fast in the play?
