AB  - The combined emissions and air quality impacts of electricity generation in the 
      Texas grid and natural gas production in the Eagle Ford shale were estimated at 
      various natural gas price points for the power sector. The increased use of 
      natural gas in the power sector, in place of coal-fired power generation, drove 
      reductions in average daily maximum 8 h ozone concentration of 0.6-1.3 ppb in 
      northeastern Texas for a high ozone episode used in air quality planning. The 
      associated increase in Eagle Ford upstream oil and gas production nitrogen oxide 
      (NOx) emissions caused an estimated local increase, in south Texas, of 0.3-0.7 
      ppb in the same ozone metric. In addition, the potential ozone impacts of Eagle 
      Ford emissions on nearby urban areas were estimated. On the basis of evidence 
      from this work and a previous study on the Barnett shale, the combined ozone 
      impact of increased natural gas development and use in the power sector is likely 
      to vary regionally and must be analyzed on a case by case basis.
