The Eagle Ford Shale runs across several different counties, including Dimmit, Maverick, LaSalle, Webb and DeWitt Counties.
Many different exploration and production companies are active in the Eagle Ford Shale, including St. Mary Land & Exploration Company (SM), Petrohawk Energy (HK), Murphy Oil (MUR), Rosetta Resources (ROSE) and Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD). ___________________________________________________________________
