EXCO Shuts Down South Texas Drilling, Reduces Debt

EXCO Resources Inc. said it has shut down its drilling program in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas due to low commodity prices and plans to divert the remainder of its capital expenditures (capex) to East Texas, in the Haynesville/Bossier Shale, where returns are expected to be above 25%.

I am wondering when they say they will drill the east Texas Haynesville if that will include their leases in western Desoto

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 |
