Barnett Shale is deeply fractured, with fissures that tended to be sealed by calcium carbonate. The field went undiscovered until Mitchell Energy experimented with employing large gel fracture methods to open the wells to natural gas.

Palin’s Alaska pipeline dream not a reality yet
New gas fields like the Barnett Shale in North Texas hold great promise for consumers and producers like XTO Energy of Fort Worth and Chesapeake Energy of …
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 [...]
Natural gas pipes wend their way through the community. New pipeline rights of way and wells are everywhere. Natural gas pipes wend their way through the community. New pipeline rights of way and wells are everywhere. Natural gas produced on location is used to fire the distilling units that in turn boil the returned fracture [...]
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 [...]
Barnett Shale is a gas-bearing formation that the industry has known about for a long, long time. It was not commercially producible on a vertical well bore because the formation would not give up enough gas on a vertical structure in order to be able to make your money back out of what it took [...]
Barnet Shale … It is Barnett Shale …
Barnett Shale is a massive natural gas deposit that occurs naturally deep under approximately seven counties in North Central Texas and including northeast Tarrant County. The Barnett field stretches from Dallas west approximately 5,000 square miles and produces about 1.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day [...]
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 [...]
Natural gas pipes wend their way through the community. New pipeline rights of way and wells are everywhere. Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel containing mostly methane. It is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. Natural gas produced on location is used to fire the distilling units that in turn boil the returned fracture fluid [...]
