Craig Adams, president and CEO of Newark E&P Operating LLC, said the company will pick its best economic locations and drill 30 or 40 wells this year in the tight-oil siltstone Marble Falls play. Multiple fractures in the very brittle rock can be connected to create "a very commercial-sized reservoir." The company is drilling vertically, and plans to keep drilling costs between $750 million and $800 million.
