Houston-based EOG Resources resumed its status as No. 1 driller in Texas, according to a report this week in Houston Chronicle. EOG has filed 175 drilling permits with the Railroad Commission of Texas to date to overtake ExxonMobil (105). Midland’s Diamondback Energy (151) and Irving-based Pioneer Natural Resources (144) also have overtaken Exxon followed by Concho fifth (100). The Chronicle also said Fort Worth-based Double Eagle Development plans to drill seven horizontal wells on four leases in Midland County targeting Spraberry.
