Dallas Operator Targeting Naturally-Fractured Buda Limestone

Dallas-based Gulf Coast Western LLC has secured 3,500 acres in Wilson County, TX, where it intends to target the “revitalized” Buda Limestone Formation with 10 horizontal wells initially. The naturally fractured Buda is just below the Eagle Ford Shale and is seen as a lower-cost oil opportunity than the Eagle Ford.
