Eagle Ford Shale
The Eagle Ford Shale has brought many opportunities and significant monetary gain to the Three Rivers area. Because of the EFS Three Rivers has also been able to put their city’s tax money to use helping the next generation by building a new elementary school and a state of the art junior senior high school.
The Eagle Ford Shale is one of the most significant domestic oil finds in decades and is currently the most active shale play in the world producing oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. This immense hydrocarbon producing formation in South Texas is considered to be one of the most noteworthy oil and natural gas discoveries ever found in the state.
The Eagle Ford Shale (EFS) is quite possibly the largest single economic development in the history of the state of Texas and ranks as the largest oil & gas development in the world based on capital invested. Almost $30 billion was spent developing the play in 2013. The Eagle Ford had more than a $60 billion dollar impact on the local South Texas economy in 2012 and over 116,000 Eagle Ford jobs were supported in the 20 county area impacted by the play. Add the jobs created in surrounding counties and the picture of a modern oil boom begins to take shape.
From record drilling levels to wells producing over 4,000 b/d of oil initially, the play is redefining South Texas as an oil industry hotbed. If you own a business in South Texas, begin thinking about how the Eagle Ford is changing the economic landscape and your future. Oil & gas production is bringing new found wealth to the region
