Mr. Gary C. Evans, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Magnum Hunter, commented, “We are pleased to report our company–s highest production test rates to-date on three recently completed Marcellus wells located in Tyler, County West Virginia. To have successfully completed four very high production rate wells (three Marcellus and one Utica) that have tested on a combined basis at 97.4 MMCFE per day on one single pad, is a testimony to both the quality of the rock underlying our Company–s lease acreage as well as the knowledge and experience of our management team and field personnel and what they have learned over the past three years in drilling and completing over fifty wells in the region. Additionally, this type of production obviously has significant implications for our midstream subsidiary, Eureka Hunter Pipeline, LLC, where all of this new natural gas and liquids production is currently tied in.”
