Yates Field oil surge boosts MER to 125000 barrels a day
Marathon Oil Co. won Texas Railroad Commission approval to raise the Yates Field MER from 100000 to 125000 barrels daily effective Sept 1. The field, spanning 26400 acres in Pecos and Crockett counties, has produced over 675 million barrels in 52 years, with heirs opposing the higher rate due to concerns about water and gas encroachment and overall recovery.
