Innovations in Eagle Ford Reduce the Environmental Impact of Fracking and Drive Texas Economy Forward

The Eagle Ford shale play is located in south Texas, and stretches northeast from the Mexican border 400 miles to east Texas. Its width is about 50 miles, and depths of production vary between 4,000 and 14,000 feet. It is best known for its production of oil, condensate, natural gas liquids, and wet and dry gas. Because hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and horizontal drilling have been so successful, Eagle Ford has played a significant role in the economic development and job growth of the counties directly affected by its presence, as well as the current boom the oil and gas industry is enjoying. Even though natural gas prices are currently low and the infrastructure does not have the capacity to support the amount of gas in the shale, the Eagle Ford region has a high liquid yield to compensate. Since the prices of oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids have risen, low natural gas prices do not adversely affect well economics. The first successful recovery of Eagle Ford resources is
