Shale Boom Winners
The Eagle Ford, Bakken, and Permian Basin are responsible for nearly every every drop of oil that has been added to U.S. oil production since 2008. Of fifty American states, just two are leading this trend. North Dakota and Texas are taking all the credit for the oil boom and are experiencing economic prosperity as a result. If you look a little deeper, you’ll find that this growth is concentrated in small towns and small companies. With Texas now expected to produce more than 3 million barrels per day, we’re still in the early stages of the Permian Basin oil revival.
