Executive Summary
Strong rig-count growth spurred an Eagle Ford production increase that was second only to the Permian. However, production improvement was offset by commodity price easing in the latter half of 2022 and early 2023, resulting in Eagle Ford comp group stock price declines over the last year. Despite those dynamics, interest in the Eagle Ford remains high, with Devon doubling its presence in the basin in late 2022 and SilverBow making significant acquisitions (SandPoint and Sundance) last year.
