AUSTIN, Texas, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --  Background: America's Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA) Texas State Lead, David Blackmon, issued the following statement on the formation of the Eagle Ford Shale Task Force. The Task Force is comprised of a broad spectrum of diverse stakeholders and was formed to open lines of communication between all parties, establish best practices for Eagle Ford Shale development, and promote the significant economic benefits.

"ANGA is very encouraged by Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter's announcement of the Eagle Ford Task Force and the diversity of interests represented on the panel.  The forethought shown in the formation of such a pivotal group and its impressive level of community engagement clearly demonstrates a keen understanding of the Eagle Ford region itself. 

"Addressing public concerns and operational issues that arise in a transparent and proactive manner is the best way to ensure the public and interested third parties that the tremendous resource potential of the Eagle Ford formation is being developed in a safe and responsible manner.   

"We are very hopeful that the diversity of interests represented on the Task Force will lend a maximum level of credibility to the panel's activities with the public at large and with the news media.  By creating a broad-based group and committing to conduct its activities in a transparent manner, we believe Commissioner Porter is doing a tremendous public service for the oil and natural gas industry, the Eagle Ford region, and the people of Texas."
