ConocoPhillips looks to sell Austin Chalk assets - report

Sep. 25, 2019 5:28 PM ET|About: ConocoPhillips (COP)|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor

ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) has placed on the market its entire 234K-acre holding in Louisiana's Austin Chalk play, only a year and a half after first unveiling its stake, Upstream reports.

COP COO Matt Fox discussed the disappointing results in July, pointing to oil rates of just 100 bbl/day. "It's just unlikely to be enough to justify a development in that part of the play."

Three out of COP's four test wells so far in Louisiana have produced more than 90% water and not enough oil to justify big investments, Fox said.
