With stabilizing commodity prices, the rig count in the Eagle Ford Shale has returned to the 60s amid a slow but steady rebound in the oil and gas industry. Figures released Feb. 17 from the Baker Hughes Rig Count reveal that after multiple weeks of gains, there are now 61 active drilling sites in the oil-rich region just south of San Antonio. Crude oil prices have stayed between $50 and $55 per barrel over the past three months, enabling companies to rig back up in the Eagle Ford.
