He was referring to fields known as the Haynesville Shale, the Marcellus Shale and the Barnett Shale. A relatively new technique known as horizontal …
Barnett Shale Texas …
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 companies know the competition game well. The price companies offer land owners is not just based on the price of natural gas, Robbins said. Gas that occurs in pockets underground is considered a conventional reservoir; gas that is distributed throughout the rock, like the Marcellus, is called an unconventional reservoir.
