Shut-down to Affect Smackover Fields Only
Woodley of Shreveport says the shut-down plan targets the Smackover field where prices are unprofitable. About 400 rigs and 4,000 workers may be laid off in the next 30 days as major operators join the suspension until crude prices improve. The action stems from an El Dorado meeting with the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association coordinating efforts across Louisiana and Arkansas.
