Production from the play now exceeds 1.2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) a day. An estimated 1.5 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas has been commercially produced from the Barnett Shale. Production from the Moore #2 in Ellis County is nearly identical to the Moore #1 well (approximately 1.5 Mmcfe per day) but was drilled in [...]
Barnett Shale
Barnett Shale: Fracturing of the shale in the F-4 well is scheduled to commence by July 31st. OSR-Halliday: the location for a new PUD location has been built by our partner Woodbine Energy. Barnett Shale gas is currently constrained by a lack of pipeline capacity, but this isn’t stopping EOG from projecting 15% total [...]

Drilling a horizontal well into the targeted portion of the shale is relatively quick, averaging about 15 days. The initial two horizontal wells were drilled to a measured depth in the targeted Huron Shale of approximately 6,400 feet, which included a lateral section of approximately 2,500 feet. Drilling activity has increased between [...]
Barnett Shale Gas …
Barnett shale gas will be assessed after mapping �sweet spots� and outlying areas of potential, and by defining distributions of drainage (cell) size and cell estimated ultimate recovery. An example of a Barnett �sweet spot� is the Greater Newark East area where thick, siliceous Barnett has reached the gas window, and overlain [...]
Gas in-place is the total amount of free and adsorbed gas within the Marcellus. Given a resource that is found under more than 34,000,000 acres of real estate with at least 50 feet of organic-rich section, the Marcellus Shale weighs in with more than 500 trillion cubic feet of gas in-place spread over a four [...]
Gas saturation seems constant across the region, so it is tempting to invoke increased natural fracturing in these areas as the explanation. Gas in-place is the total amount of free and adsorbed gas within the Marcellus. Given a resource that is found under more than 34,000,000 acres of real estate with at least 50 feet [...]
Oilfield service companies that are well capitalized and well managed are experiencing very high growth rates with good profit margins. We have heard reports of equipment manufacturers moving to establish offices in the area to compete for business in the drilling and trucking industries, both of which are booming in the area. Oil has also [...]
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 may be further categorized as in-situ generated-reservoired or as migrated gas. [...]
