The oil major Exxon Mobil is not planning to give up its status as the top driller in Texas.
The company’s shale arm, XTO Energy, filed for 15 drilling permits with the Railroad Commission to develop 15 horizontal wells in the Permian Basin. Located on the company’s Davidson Unit 2 lease in Upton County, the oil wells target the Spraberry field to a total depth of 10,850.
Exxon Mobil was the top driller in Texas after filing for 659 drilling permits in 2019. Early in the new year, the permit filings show Exxon Mobil plans to keep that title.
