TX: Empty RV parks tell story of oil boom

(Nov. 17, 2016) -- For nearly four years, oil field workers and their recreational vehicles swamped RV parks here in the southwest corner of the Eagle Ford Shale. Business boomed. Socorro Niavez had built the town’s first RV park 25 years ago on five acres and reaped thousands of dollars as wells drilled in the Eagle Ford grew from 26 in 2008 to 5,613 in 2014, attracting oil workers who needed places to stay.
