The Haynesville-Bossier holds tens of thousands of proven locations, but economically viable inventory contracts quickly as gas prices and drilling cadence rise.

The Williston Basin holds more than 38,000 proven locations, but only a fraction deliver competitive returns, with breakevens rising from $70/bbl today to nearly $100/bbl
