Sweet success in the Eagle Ford

摘要

With a premium position in what it believes to be the sweetest of the Eagle Ford's sweet spots, ConocoPhillips has found the winning combination with science, experimentation and optimal well placement. Everyone expected alternative energy to be the big story of the 21st century. However, the successful development of unconventional reservoirs delivered what Greg Leveille, CTO for ConocoPhillips, described as an "energy miracle." Contributing to that miracle is the resource-rich Eagle Ford Shale and the "enormously important role" it played in shifting the U.S. from the role of energy importer to energy exporter.
