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?

The well is clearly indicated on the application.  Use my link and look for the green icons.  The lateral drills south through sections 1,12 & 13 and then makes a turn to the west and drills up though Section 14.

Ryan, that is a different well you are looking at.
