Devon Energy restarts drilling in Eagle Ford

In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Devon Energy Corp. said it has restarted drilling in the Eagle Ford area in Texas and expects to have the “vast majority” of its affected production online by the end of this week.

As a precautionary measure in advance of the hurricane, Devon said it ceased Eagle Ford drilling and well completion activity and shut in production.

The company said it is working with downstream providers to minimize midstream and fractionation curtailments in the Gulf Coast region.
