Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Eagle Ford shale, Gates Ranch area, South Texas
Production: 30.4 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day
Area: 65,000 acres
Start-up Year: -
Rosetta Resources holds a significant shale gas acreage in southern Texas. The Eagle Ford shale is the largest producing area providing 90 percent of the company’s total production. Rosetta holds nearly 65,000 acres in the Eagle Ford shale with more than three-quarters located in the liquids-producing area.
The primary producing area in 2011 was from the Gates Ranch area where the development success led to double-digit production increases and a doubling of their reserve base. During 2012, the company have expanded their drilling programs to include Karnes Trough, Briscoe Ranch and Central Dimmit locations. So far less than 10 percent of our identified Eagle Ford inventory is drilled and on production.
Production from the Eagle Ford shale averaged 30.4 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day for the first quarter of 2012, an 11 percent increase from the previous quarter. As of March 31, 2012, Rosetta has completed a total of 75 horizontal Eagle Ford wells.
