FORMATIONS · RRC WELLBORE FILE

Eagle Ford

Reported as a top in 32,002 wells across 69 counties, at a median depth of 9,532 ft (6,329 to 12,579 ft in most wells). 2,064 of those wells were permitted in the last three years.

A well counts if any of its completion filings report this formation, whether it produces from it or drilled through it. Depths are measured depth as filed; typo depths exist, which is why ranges are percentiles, not extremes. About completion reports →
