Stallion's new Kenedy office opened earlier in the summer and includes an 80 person man camp. The 50-acre super-yard is one of several locations the company has in South Texas servicing the Eagle Ford Shale. Stallion now has locations in Carrizo Springs, Tilden, Victoria, and Alice. The company has expanded quickly over the past few years to answer the call for various oilfield service needs in the area.

Operators look to Stallion to provide not only a comprehensive set of wellsite and production services but also deliver well-trained and safety conscious service technicians. The new facility is also home to an 80-man camp used to provide onsite accommodations for the Company’s service personnel.

Stallion provides a range of oilfield services, wellsite support, completion, production and logistics services for oil and gas exploration and production companies, drilling contractors, and other service companies. Services offered include South Texas workforce accommodations, production and fluid logistics services, surface equipment rental, wellsite construction, solids control services, and communications with wellsites.

Alice TX - No Drilling, But Still a Boom Time

Alice Texas doesn't sit in the fairway of the Eagle Ford Shale, but it sure seems to be benefiting. A $6 million sales tax surplus was realized over the past year. The city budgeted income of $650,000 per month and only one month came in under $1,000,000. Weatherford, whose office had shrunk over several years, has grown from 27 to over 300 employees in three short years. An Alice based frack sand company, SandPro, has over 400 employees in the state. For reference, Alice's population is somewhere around 20,000. Companies with hundreds of employees make a big impact.

While not in the middle of development, the city is positioned centrally from east to west and the existing presence of the oil industry before the Eagle Ford boom, makes it an easy location for distribution and offices. 

SandPro trucking started two years ago with three trucks hauling sand to the oil field, and four employees; today it has 350 trucks and more than 400 employees around the state.

SandPro and other companies that have brought jobs, money and people to Alice since 2009 illustrate the remarkable ripple effect of the drilling frenzy on towns not directly over the Eagle Ford Shale. The closest producing Eagle Ford well is about 40 miles away, according to a Texas Railroad Commission map.

You wouldn't know it judging by the city's sales taxes. For the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, Alice budgeted $650,000 a month in sales tax revenue. Only one month came in under $1 million, giving the city a $6 million surplus, City Manager Ray De Los Santos said.

Alice TX Oil Boom Adds Jobs and Sale Tax Revenue

Alice, TX is just the latest town in a series of many that are reporting on the oil boom in South Texas. The Eagle Ford Shale has filled hotels for what will likely be many years to come. Sales tax revenue is up almost across the board and the great thing is activity should continue to grow over the coming months. If oil prices hold, this is the beginning of long-term oil and gas development.

"Alice has its hotels booked, stores expanding and businesses hiring."

"Those are the benefits of being swept up in the economic flood that is Eagle Ford shale production, City Manager Ray De Los Santos Jr. said."

" 'It's not tourism, it's industry that's keeping those hotels filled and those restaurants full,' De Los Santos said."

"Workers spending extra cash on lodging, eating and shopping has Alice's sales tax revenues up 43 percent for the year."
