- Strong economic returns for horizontal drilling
Trilogy’s filings indicate a focused interest in formations with reliable historical production, notably the Fusselman.
🧬 Target Formation Spotlight: The Fusselman
The Fusselman Formation is a prolific Silurian-age carbonate reservoir found throughout the Permian Basin. It is a key target for horizontal drilling due to:
- Lithology: Predominantly dolomite with high natural fracturing and secondary porosity
- Depth: Typically encountered between 8,000 – 10,000+ feet in the Midland Basin
- Production Type: Light crude oil with low water cut, making it an attractive target for independent operators
- Legacy Performance: Originally drilled vertically in the 1960s–1980s, the Fusselman has seen a resurgence due to horizontal completions and modern stimulation techniques
Glasscock County is one of the most productive areas for Fusselman development, offering Trilogy Operating consistent EURs and favorable economics.
