American Oil and Gas Reporter - December 2022 - 50

T
he Eagle Ford Shale is enjoying a resurgence, reflected by the
fact that there were more than 70 rigs operating in the play
the week before Thanksgiving, which was almost double the
number of active rigs one year prior. Although among the first shale
plays with initial development now approaching 15 years, the Eagle
Ford remains unique in that it offers distinctive oil, dry gas, and wet
gas/condensate windows-often within a few miles of one another,
giving operators the flexibility to selectively target liquids, gas or
some combination thereof.
The Eagle Ford also is connected to the overlying Austin Chalk,
both in terms of geology and petroleum system diagenesis, as well
as from the perspective of operational history. Not only is the Eagle
Ford the source rock for the Austin Chalk-the original horizontal
resource play concept-but its initial development was led by many
of the same companies who had honed horizontal drilling proficiencies
in the Chalk in the years before the Eagle Ford's discovery. Like the
Eagle Ford itself, the Austin Chalk also is attracting renewed interest
from independents ready to apply to the Chalk some of the
fracturing techniques perfected in the Eagle Ford.
" The Eagle Ford has several advantages as an oil and gas province, "
remarks Dale Kokoski, vice president of operations for Marathon
Oil Corp. " First, the reservoir continues to provide a substantial goforward
inventory of low-risk, high-productivity and high-return
opportunities. Second, the drilling and completion cycles are short,
which enhances the rate of return. Third, it is well served by
pipeline and processing infrastructure that provides ample takeaway
capacity and optionality for market outlets along the Gulf Coast.
Finally, it is supported by a high-quality local labor force that brings
excellence and continuity to our operations.
