Thanks to Larry Nichols' vision, Devon Energy Corp. looked again at George Mitchell's Barnett program in 2001, bought it and took it lateral. As much as Mr. Mitchell and his team figured out how—and where—to complete the Barnett, Devon Energy under Nichols' leadership made it a world-changer with the successful introduction of the fractured lateral. Here we are today. Join in honoring Larry Nichols for his leadership in a newly assured American energy future. And hear about how Devon also quickly deployed new data-analysis technology to further capture more tight-rock resource in place: How might it fit as many as 84 wells in one Permian section?
