Eagle Ford Shale
The Federal Reserve Bank
of Dallas says that the boom
in the Eagle Ford Shale in
South Texas is “perhaps the
largest discovery of new oil
reserves in the United States
since Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in
1968.”
That’s big!
Even though no one knows
for certain the actual size, the
industry knows that it is big
given today’s price for crude
oil and industry conditions
that include costs and regula-
tory environment. The Eagle
Ford Shale is unique in that it
has vast quantities of reserves
of crude oil, wet gas (conden-
sate), and dry gas. Dry gas
prices remain low in relation-
ship to oil and condensate
and drilling has declined for
dry gas, which is in the south-
ern part of the shale play.
The report - entitled “Oil
Boom in Eagle Ford Shale
Brings New Wealth to South
Texas” - is authored by Rob-
ert W. Gilmer, Raul Hernan-
dez and Keith R. Phillips, and
it appeared in the Southwest
Economy newsletter, second
quarter 2012 edition.
The authors state that the
increase in activity in the
23-county area that stretches
3unty i
Larec
from s
’ tech-
$6.5 million for horizontal
drilling, $2.5 million for di-
rectional drilling and $1.5
million for vertical drilling.
“These expenditures rise
from $1.8 billion in 2007 to
$ 14.6 billion in 2011,” the re-
port stated.
A variety of infrastructure
needs - such as pipelines,
gathering systems, gas pro-
cessing plants, etc. - have
sparked other activities that
is estimated by a UT San An-
tonio study at $775 million in
2011.
“The billions of dollars that
large energy companies are
committing to expand infra-
structure for delivering hy-
drocarbons to the Texas Gulf
Coast signal anticipation of
strong production from this
region for many years to
come,” the authors said.
The value of the production
in 2011 is estimated at $8.2
billion compared to $5.3 bil-
lion in 2007.
“Direct expenditures as-
lling h
as busi
from Laredo to Bryan/Col-
lege Station is primarily the
result of recent advances that
unlocked the secret of ex-
tracting natural gas and oil
i shale. “This ne
nology - along with favorable
prices, existing infrastructure
and ready access to the Gulf
Coast refining and petro-
chemical complex - created
the Eagle Ford Shale boom.
Rapid oilfield development
has brought new jobs, rising
income and growing wealth
to this historically low-wage,
low-income area.”
The number of drilling per-
mits doubled from 2007 to
2011, with oil having the big-
gest increase.
Production has increased,
also. Natural gas has in-
creased 24 percent, oil by 54
percent and condensate by
541 percent.
Most of the wells are drilled
horizontally. Of the 225 rigs
working in the Eagle Ford
counties in late March 2012,
213 were drilled horizontally.
Of course, a horizontal well
with multiple fracs cost much
more to drill than the conven-
tional vertical well, but the
price of crude oil (around
$100 per barrel) has made
these wells cost effective.
The authors estimated that
each well will cost about
multiplier effect, as business-
to-business or consumer-to-
business spending continues
through successive rounds,”
the study said.
“Surging drilling activity
has brought strong employ-
ment and wage growth to
most of the counties in the
Eagle Ford,” the study con-
tinued. Retail sales increased
15.4 percent annual rate that
has resulted in an increase in
state sales tax revenue of 9.8
percent annually.
All of the positive econom-
ic impact is not without some
controversy, however.
Hydraulic fracturing re-
quires large amounts of wa-
ter, and water is another pre-
cious commodity throughout
most of South Texas. Indus-
try is searching for ways to
reduce water consumption
by re-using used water when
possible.
Chemicals used in hydraulic
fracturing are now required
to be listed on the FracFocus
web site so the public can see
what is being injected.
Truck traffic has officials
searching for answers about
how to pay for road repairs.
