DENVER—BPX Energy, the U.S. onshore business for BP Plc, is going bigger in the Haynesville Shale than ever before.

BPX said it has drilled the first 4-mile horizontal lateral in the Haynesville basin, CEO Kyle Koontz said Aug. 18 during the 2025 EnerCom conference in downtown Denver.

    I don't see a 4-mile lateral on that notice, I see 3-mile, but I am sure it happened. Amazing that they can drill that far.

    Main question... what did they say about EUR? I would EUR per lateral foot would not increase, only total EUR per wellbore. Unless they have improved something to increase the latter. Do you recall any statements about EUR/foot or something?

    Also, did they mention how long the lateral is for the J-turn well?
