First entry description of the Eagle Ford Shale published by the RRC on 7 Feb including the following statements.-
?Early production figures indicate that individual wells will experience total production of between 2 billion cubic feet and 5 billion cubic feet (bcf) with more liquid hydrocarbons than other shale fields. Initial drilling and completion costs have been averaging about $5 million per well
? The Eagle Ford shale appears attractive because of several additional factors: ? It has a much higher carbonate to shale percentage, thus making it more brittle and ?fracable?; ? It is not highly pressured (as the Haynesville Shale).?
