If it only takes two days to drill the first segment, EOG may start subcontracting the rig to other drillers.
Major 43 ostensibly could drill 15 holes per month and EOG's current fleet of 8 big rigs can only finish drilling, at best, 8 holes per month. For those of us who follow EOG's drilling program closely, all we now need to do is follow Major 43 from one location to the next as that will be the location for the next big rig.
