I don't know. It had a $25 billion impact in 2011, which mushroomed to $61 billion in 2012 and over $87 billion in 2013.
Over 51,000 directly employed in the shale play. Not Houston big, but pretty big.
Weatheford, Haliburton, Baker Hughes, and countless more have added their footprint to the SA economy in the last few years, both with construction, (indirect impact such as construction workers, and taxes paid...eventually), and jobs. And mostly on a side of town needing economic generators.
