Wilson County (809 sq. miles) is in the liquids-rich Eagle Ford Shale
Play of South Texas. Generally, drilling activity targets the oil
window of the Eagle Ford in the southeastern half of the county
where economics are enhanced by production of oil. The formation
is found at depths between 4,000 ft and 8,000 ft as you move
southeast through the county. The deeper portions of the county are
considered more prospective, as the formation is also thicker in this
area of the play.
