Maverick Signs Participation Agreement to Complete Multiple Wells in Seven Texas Counties

The company came into focus among investors yesterday after it announced that it had inked an agreement for the recompletion of as many as three existing wells located in Lee County and Gonzales Country in Texas. In addition to that, the company also announced that it inked a participation agreement with a well-known operator for the Giddings Field, which is spread across several counties in Texas.

The entire area is made up of as many as 5000 acres for production purposes and consists of more than 25 wells to go along with more than 100 leases. As per the agreement signed by Maverick, the company is going to take care of the entirety of the costs that is going to accrue for the horizontal recompletion of the three wells.

In exchange, the company would get a 75% working interest in the wells. While the announcement was a significant one, it led to a negative response from investors. It remains to be seen if the stock can bounce back.
