Texas Experiencing Recent Oil Boom - kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen

(KCEN) -- Texas is synonymous with oil, but activity has increased so much people are wondering why.

New fracking technology and a better price point are just a few reasons for the recent Texas oil boom.

Experts are actually hoping this is less of a boom and more of a sustained industry.

But as oil companies begin pumping eastward toward San Angelo, there has been some difficulty in locating active reserves, which could mean a delay in the discovery of more oil.
