… earlier in the release
For example, we expect a batch of 13 wells, including Matador’s first 3.4-mile lateral wells, to be drilled on our Eastern Antelope Ridge acreage, acquired from Ameredev, and turned-to-sales in the first half of 2026. These wells will contribute to our ~10% expected increase in 2026 average lateral length as compared to 2025. In addition to our anticipated 2026 operating efficiencies, Matador remains focused on inventory accretion, reserve replacement, artificial intelligence integration and improved production recoveries. These initiatives and efficiency improvements are central to our strategically balanced 2026 operating plan, which advances development across our diversified Delaware Basin portfolio and includes exploratory and extension tests such as in the Woodford shale. Matador has also conducted preliminary testing of enhanced completion surfactants in 2025. In light of these encouraging test results, Matador plans to expand the program in 2026 and 2027, with initial funding included in the 2026 capital budget. Early production results from 2025 tests showed improved recoveries in certain formations compared to the 150-day cumulative production on control wells. Midstream Capital Expenditures Matador estimates total 2026 midstream CapEx of $100 to $110 million. This estimate includes (i) $50 to $60 million for Matador’s 51% share of San Mateo’s 2026 estimated CapEx of $100 to $115 million and (ii) $50 to $60 million for other wholly-owned midstream projects, including infrastructure and facil
