HOUSTON, Feb. 2 – Anadarko Petroleum Corp. spud seven operated horizontal wells and completed four operated horizontal wells in the 2009 fourth quarter in Pennsylvania in the Marcellus shale play, where it has interests in more than 630,000 acres.

The company’s two most recent flow tests each exhibited sustained test rates in excess of 7 MMcfd with 3,000 psi of flowing tubing pressure.

Anadarko operates three rigs and participates in 11 nonoperated rigs and expects to increase both counts throughout 2010.
