Utica vs. Eagle Ford Early-stage Utica deals, characteristics and how the plays stack up

摘要

Analysts say that the Utica Shale, which is nearly equal to the size of" the Eagle Ford play in Texas, could become the third-largest shale play in the United States, producing as much as 250,000 to 500,000 barrels of oil a day. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources estimates that the Utica's potentially recoverable reserves could range from 3.75 TCF of gas and 1.31 billion barrels of oil to 15.7 TCF gas and 5.5 billion barrels of oil.
