Eagle Ford Shale |
| The Eagle Ford Shale trend covers 11 million acres from the Texas/Mexico border in South Texas to East Texas near Louisiana and is nearly 1/16th of the size of the entire state of Texas. The depth ranges of the shale range from 4000 feet to 14000 feet and contains black oil, volatile oil, condensate, and dry gas. Industry has significantly de-risked the play and has defined 4 different commercial boundaries. This area is unique in it its capacity to produce more of both gas and oil than other shale areas, and is also distinct in its percentage of carbonate making it a more brittle environment and thus an excellent candidate for fracing. Sanchez Energy Corporation's focus within the Eagle Ford shale trend is divided into several ongoing project areas; the Maverick Area, the Palmetto Area, Marquis Area and recently acquired Cotulla Area. |
