OPTIMIZING THE EAGLE FORD

摘要

In the heat of $100 oil, 81% of the Eagle Ford Shale play was economic, according to Drilhnginfo CEO Allen Gilmer, and "that's pretty outstanding." In the cooler days of $50 to $60 oil, while rigs along the trend have thinned by half, "the rigs are still focusing in those same areas as they have in the past—we're not seeing a ton of migration," he said. Gilmer estimated some 75% of the Eagle Ford remains economic at current prices for "best in class" operators, while 45% to 50% of the geography holds up for average operators.
