Barnett Shale Production

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

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 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 [...]

Barnett Shale Gas

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

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 [...]

Barnett Shale Gas Drilling

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

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 [...]

Oil has also been found in lesser quantities, but sufficient (with recent high oil prices) to be commercially viable. Oil and gas operations on leases that have been on production for extended time produce copious amounts of brine water along with the associated oil and gas. Produced water, (any [...]
