This episode is from our Crue Club Operator Mastermind Roundtable, held in OKC in late January 2025. Jeremy Ensz (VP of Operations Engineering - Ascent Resources) kicked off a roundtable discussion on Extended Laterals: How far could/should we go?

We explore extended laterals benefits in production and efficiency while emphasizing the necessity of communication and technology. Main topics include increased production capabilities, operational efficiencies, technological innovations, the importance of real-time monitoring, and the challenges surrounding safety and sustainability practices.
