A familiar name in the Eagle Ford has shifted its drilling focus from Maverick to Dimmit County this week.

Houston-based Trinity Operating LLC, ranked seventh for Eagle Ford activity in 2021, is hoping for big returns in Zavala County.

A flood of new drill permit applications, led by an emerging Houston-based player in the Eagle Ford Shale, knocked Karnes County off its pedestal this week.

In the race for oil wells along the Eagle Ford Shale, one county continues to stand out among its competitors.

Two companies — including one based in Houston — are ramping up efforts to stake out oil and gas wells in South Texas’ Karnes County.

EOG Resources Inc. (NYSE: EOG) has honed in on Atascosa County for the bulk of its new drills, according to new drill permit applications filed with the Texas Railroad Commission.

Companies filed 10 new drilling permit applications in Dimmit County between March 6 and 13, bringing the total number of applications filed to 26 over a two-week period.
