Today I researched the Eagle Ford shale in Zavala County, Texas. The following companies are currently operating in Zavala County:

Activity has increased greatly in the Eagle Ford Shale in the oil corridor of the play for Crimson. They are in the process of reviewing the area for potential late 2010 or early 2011 drilling activity.


Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) has increased its acreage position in the Eagle Ford Shale to 550,000 net acres, an increase of 150,000 net acres from the first quarter of 2010.
