Barnett Shale Gas
GAMLS is one such software program, which allows geologists, geophysicists, engineers, and petro-physicists to evaluate old fields, look for step-outs, and to analyze the potential of new producing zones. In many cases, the new zones have been overlooked because technologies to determine the zone’s potential, and then to successful drill and complete the hydrocarbon-bearing formation did not exist. Gas shale well productivity varies widely by basin, due to variations in the natural fracturing, richness of the shale, net thickness, and initial rates. The major change has been in well completion and operating methods, which have led to increase per well reserves. Gas saturation seems constant across the region, so it is tempting to invoke increased natural fracturing in these areas as the explanation.
Gas companies are meeting with neighborhood associations to better explain the complexities of drilling in an urban setting. Residents are telling the companies what they think.
