Bill Barrett reports lower 1Q earnings
The Denver-based oil and gas producer’s plans for this year include a working interest in 28 Niobrara wells in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, the company said in its earnings statement. It plans to add a second rig in the D.J. Basin this month.
Bill Barrett also said it began drilling on its acreage in the Chalk Bluffs in Northern Colorado during the first quarter. The company currently has 17,300 net undeveloped acres in the area. (There are no drilling leases in the Chalk Bluffs Natural Area, a 640-acre state park in Weld County.)
