Eagle Ford Overview

The liquids-rich Eagle Ford tight oil trend, located in the Western Gulf Coast Basin of South Texas, represents the company’s second-most prolific unconventional resource development. ConocoPhillips was one of the first companies into the liquids play, resulting in a low-cost entry into this acreage. In 2009, the company began exploring the development potential of this play and by year-end 2021 held approximately 200,000 net leasehold and mineral acres, primarily in DeWitt, Karnes and Live Oak counties.

During 2021, 160 operated wells were brought online, bringing total wells online at year-end to more than 1,600. Net production in 2021 averaged 211 MBOED, with approximately 80% of production from liquids.
