The liquids rich Eagle Ford shale play in southwest Texas may overtake the Barnett and Haynesville shale gas plays in Texas and Louisiana in terms of production, potentially becoming the largest producing shale play in Texas and the entire U.S., according to a recent report by London-based Evaluate Energy.
The Eagle Ford is currently dwarfed by its neighbors in terms of production, with the Barnett producing 877,000 BOE/d, the Haynesville producing 708,000 BOE/d and Eagle Ford producing 66,000 BOE/d in the fourth quarter of 2010. However, a recent surge in new wells suggests this all about the change, with horizontal drilling for both oil and gas in the Eagle Ford growing rapidly.

Seems as though every time a new Play is found, its is the "Largest", "Most Productive", and it is going to take over everything. Funny thing is, or I should say the SAD thing is, everyone gets ALL EXCITED and then, everything STOPS!!!!
I have a feeling that the Haynesville Shale Play was hyped up so much that a lot of mineral owners in Louisiana and Texas may have thought they were sitting on a GOLD MINE and got themselves in trouble financially. Hopefully, production will pick-up on all these plays and get the United States off its dependence on foreign oil and natural gas.

No only is this a liquids play but the drillers are aiming for the oil first, liquids second and gas well they would be happy to flare it and just stick to the liquids.
Barnett is going down because it is old and the other plays are more productive for the money.
Haynesville is fine if you had more demand for gas but the fact is gas demand isn't going up because the economy is still down.... The sad fact is the US is flooded with gas which means the price of gas is down. Only where the liquids are rich will people be willing to drill (unless they have to for contractual reasons).... That doesn't make most in Haynesville happy but that is the fact of the matter.

Do you want to be President of this Party that we could form???? LOL

Have a good day,

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
