Relationship Between East Texas Deltas and Eagle Ford ProductionTitle:

Production studies performed during development of the Eagle Ford unconventional resource have found that the zones containing less than 35% clay that have a high frequency of thin limestones were among the highest producers. Near the San Marcos Arch, two clay-rich, non-productive mudstones have been identified, a lower clay-rich unit between the primary Eagle Ford producing zone and the underlying Buda Limestone, and an upper clay-rich unit at the top of the Lower Eagle Ford. Biostratigraphic analysis of the lower unit in multiple cores identified Early Cenomanian ammonites and nannofossils that were also found in cores taken from the East Texas field within the Maness Shale, a clay-rich mudstone that lies between the Woodbine Sandstone and the Buda Limestone. A study of the Maness in cores from…
