COVER STORY Independents of all sizes are carrying out strategic
moves to capitalize on drilling and completion opportunities in both
established and developing plays. In West Texas and Southeast New
Mexico, the " new " Devon Energy is sizing up one of the largest
leaseholds in the Delaware Basin. In Wyoming, Continental Resources
is looking to repeat past tight oil success in stacked Powder River
plays. In multiple basins-including the Delaware and Powder River-
EOG Resources is doubling down on " double-premium " assets.
Meanwhile, SilverBow Resources is seeking to expand its scope in the
Eagle Ford, Merica Oil is launching a vertical drilling program in
Kansas, and U.S. Energy Development is pursuing operated and
nonoperated partnerships in high-value plays.

Economic recovery means rising demand and stronger commodity prices,
but investors will continue to demand strong returns and fiscal discipline.

FRAC FLEET UPDATE
56 | Rebounding Fracturing Activity Starts to Hit Constraints, Cost
Pressures
February's extended freeze, and its chilling effect on hydraulic fracturing activity, proved to be a short-term anomaly. But even as demand
for fracturing services picks up, so do mitigating pressures that appear
likely to impose roadblocks that will moderate growth.
by Matt Johnson and Mark Rossano
65 | New-Build Frac Spreads Benefit From High-Horsepower Engines
and Pumps
When it comes to frac fleets, muscle is everything. Horsepower increases have yet to hit the point of diminishing returns, and in fact,
adding horsepower continues to reduce costs, streamline maintenance
and shrink spread footprints.

GAS COMPRESSION TECH
67 | Smart Maintenance, More Durable Parts Extend Compressor
Uptime
Unsatisfied with 99% uptime, innovators continue to chase perfection
by developing more effective maintenance programs and increasing
the operational longevity of critical components and consumables.
