Oilfield Service Industry Expands in South Texas
Eagle Ford drilling has gone from virtually zero in 2008 to more than 200 rigs today. Those rigs and subsequent wells require a substantial commitment from oilfield service companies. Not only are the companies working the play, but they are breaking ground on permanent offices:
- Halliburton is Building a Supersite in San Antonio
- Schlumberger is Adding Offices in S. Texas
- Weatherford’s New Office Will Include Truck Bays
- Baker Hughes Operations Center and Office Will Open Soon
The four offices listed above will add several thousand South Texas oilfeld jobs in the San Antonio area alone.
If your company would like to be added to this list, simply add a listing in the Eagle Ford Shale MarketPlace. We automatically add all MarketPlace Oilfield Service listings to this page. If you feature your listing, as an added benefit, we’ll link directly to your company website.

Hi I am interested in more information on catering contracts. I understand some of the companies grant vendors the privilege of delivering food on site at the rig so employees don’t have to drive miles to find food. Any info you can provide would be helpful. Thank you
