Permian – Delaware Basin Action Virtually Nonstop Since Oct. 1

No slowdown for the Permian

Everybody is getting into the action in the Permian basin and in the Delaware portion of the basin in particular.

Even Norway’s TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company (ticker: TGS) has landed in the Permian. TGS announced today that it has commenced field operations on the West Kermit 3D seismic survey in the Delaware Basin. The project will encompass a minimum of 150 square miles in Loving and Winkler Counties, Texas, with targets that include the Wolfcamp and Bonespring intervals. This is TGS’s first Permian 3D project. The company said it expects to deliver final Delaware basin data to its client in Q4 2017.

Permian/Delaware deals have come nonstop since the start of Q4 2016

It’s the most active basin in the U.S. E&Ps are announcing deals to enter the Permian basin or scooping up acreage to bolt on to their assets like there is no tomorrow. Midstream operators are adding assets in the Delaware. Here are links to some of the announced deals in Q4 2016 through January 30, 2017:
