Reservoir: Eagle Ford Shale Today
Performance Trends, Inventory, and Modeling the Path Forward

Date: Thursday, May 21, 2026
Time: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Location: Liberty Oilfield Services
820 Gessner Rd, Live Oak Training Room, First Floor, Suite 107
Houston, TX 77024

The Eagle Ford remains one of North America’s most important unconventional plays, yet years of development have reshaped remaining inventory quality, well performance, and the economic assumptions driving future development.

Join us for a data-driven discussion examining where the play stands today—and where it may be headed next.

About the Presentation

This presentation will explore the current state and future trajectory of the Eagle Ford through year-over-year well performance trends, recovery factor analysis, and operator benchmarking.

Attendees will gain insight into how productivity metrics and EURs have shifted across type curve areas, along with the methodology behind the production analysis and forecasting work supporting these conclusions.

The session will also cover remaining inventory evaluation, representative type well development, drilling schedule modeling, and a forward-looking production model built on 10-K benchmarking results and type curve degradation assumptions.

Additional discussion will highlight upside opportunities such as longer laterals, infill development, refracturing, and sensitivities to key economic inputs used to frame breakeven economics and capital efficiency.
