During one of its regular weekly operations meetings this July, Devon Energy Corp.’s Stack team announced something irregular—and significant: the company’s stunning Privott 17-H well in southwestern Kingfisher County, the heart of the booming Stack area in Oklahoma’s Anadarko Basin.
Word about the well spread quickly through the offices and into Devon’s C-suite, for the Privott had set a new play record with an IP-24 of 6,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) from the Mississippian Meramec. It could have flowed more, the company said, but was constrained by the capacity of the production facilities.
