"they expect some oil at 25-30,000 ft."

Unlike South Texas and many other places in the U.S., the temperature gradient in the Permain Basin is very low, something like 1.2* per hundred, but even at that the bottom hole temperature is going to be about 430* and the overburden pressure is going to be about 24,000 psi calculated at 18.2 ppg.
I'll believe it when I see it!

I didn't believe it either, but it would have been one sweet job, I could have grown a garden or two, next to the pad.
