Is Reeves County, Texas in the Mississippian Carbonate Play?
Yes, in the northernmost part of Reeves County. It appears to be more predominant in the northern part of the Permian Basin. But Reeves County has Barnett Shale in very thick zones, it appears.

We are in the Delaware Basin—Bone Springs, Avalon, Wolfberry play. Just north of Pecos…
Yes, sorry I used the more general term Permian Basin, but the Delaware Basin is a sub-basin within the greater Permian Basin - as you know, I’m sure. I’m also excited about future prospects for the Atoka Shale, in both the Midland Basin and in the Delaware Basin. There are some monster wells for gas in the Atoka Shale in the Delaware Basin. But those are very deep, and I’m sure the price of natural gas is keeping that depressed for now.
