Magnolia currently has interests in 80 producing properties, a further four currently being drilled/completed and, following today's announcement, an additional 12 waiting to be spud.

Magnolia COO, Rita Whittington said, "We are continuing to build a pipeline of future wells which, once drilled, will add to our portfolio of producing wells in proven US onshore oil plays such as the Bakken/ Three Forks Sanish, North Dakota and the Mississippi Lime and Hunton/ Woodford, Oklahoma. Importantly, the Brandt, Otis and the previously announced Thomason and Montecristo wells show our average working interests are on the rise, in line with our stated strategy."
