I have an uncle who is running about 8-10 rigs around Fort Worth. He's in his late seventies and refused to retire. He says this is the biggest boom he's seen in his 50 years in the business. He is quite excited about the "Barnett-Shale play" that's going on and says he can't wait to get to work every day.

I've noticed a few articles about drilling in Plano, Coppell, Flower Mound, and Grapevine. Right next to, or in, subdivisions. I'm guessing that this is the same field.
The Austin Chalk play a number of years ago gathered as much hype, possibly, but probably not as much hydrocarbons.
