SAN ANTONIO — Spurred by drilling across Texas and led by the Eagle Ford Shale and Permian Basin, crude oil production in Texas rose more than 23 percent in August compared to August 2013, the Texas Petro Index reports.
Oil production totaled an estimated 95.56 million barrels in August compared with 77.6 million barrels in August 2013, says economist Karr Ingham, who developed and maintains the Texas Petro Index.
In addition, the 307,700 employees who are estimated to work for drilling and oil-field service companies surpassed 300,000 for the second time since the index was launched in 1995.
