HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
WildHorse Resource Development Corporation (NYSE: WRD) announced today that its Eagle Ford operations and production have been minimally affected by Hurricane Harvey. WRD’s assets sustained no damage and only a small portion of its Eagle Ford production was temporarily shut-in during the storm. WRD is currently operating all five of its rigs and experienced insignificant drilling down time. Completions were temporarily suspended due to weather conditions, but are again operational with two of three crews back online. Full completion operations are expected within the next twenty-four hours with the resumption of the third crew. While the availability of third-party oil-hauling trucks has been limited by the storm, considerable capacity has returned to our region with most capacity expected to return over the next few days. These temporary trucking constraints affected oil sales but not production volumes.
“We are very proud of our field personnel and their ability to prepare for this storm. They have managed to keep us operational with minimal down time while also maintaining an unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of our employees,” said Jay Graham, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of WRD, “As the Texas Gulf Coast recovers from this disaster, the community will be foremost in our thoughts and prayers. We would also like to thank our first responders for their amazing work as well as the contributions of countless citizens volunteering at this time. Together as a community, we plan on coming back stronger than ever from this storm.”
