| Eagle Ford Shale - Oil and Natural Gas | |
| English What is the Eagle Ford Shale? The Eagle Ford Shale is a black calcareous shale with a high organic carbon content that outcrops in a northeast-southwest trending band through central Texas. It is named after the town of Eagle Ford, Texas. In 2009 and 2010 the Eagle Ford Shale began receiving a lot of media attention because landmen were out leasing mineral rights, drilling companies were applying for large numbers of permits, and oil and gas production was rising rapidly... http://geology.com/articles/eagle-ford/ | |
| Fayetteville Shale: Map, News, Video | |
| English Fayetteville Shale Orientation: The Fayetteville Shale, is a black, organic-rich rock of Mississippian age that underlies much of northern Arkansas and adjacent states. It produces natural gas in the central portion of the Arkoma basin. The productive wells penetrate the Fayetteville Shale at depths between a few hundred and 7000 feet below the surface and at elevations of between a few hundred feet above sea level and 7000 feet below sea level... http://geology.com/articles/fayetteville-shale.shtml | |
| Haynesville Shale: News, Map, Videos, Lease and Royalty Information | |
| English Haynesville Shale Orientation: The Haynesville Shale, is a black, organic-rich shale of Upper Jurassic age that underlies much of the Gulf Coast area of the United States. 'Haynesville Shale' is a drillers term for shale rock units within the Haynesville Formation. The Haynesville Formation is underlain by the Smackover Formation and overlain by rocks of the Cotton Valley Group. It was deposited about 150 million years ago in a shallow offshore environment... http://geology.com/articles/haynesville-shale.shtml | |
| Marcellus Shale - Appalachian Basin Natural Gas Play | |
| English Super Giant Field in the Appalachians? A few years ago every geologist involved in Appalachian Basin oil and gas knew about the Devonian black shale called the Marcellus. Its black color made it easy to spot in the field and its slightly radioactive signature made it a very easy pick on a geophysical well log. However, very few of these geologists were excited about the Marcellus Shale as a major source of natural gas. Wells drilled through it produced some gas but rarely in enormous quantity. Few if any in the natural gas industry suspected that the Marcellus might soon be a major contributor to the natural gas supply of the United States - large enough to be spoken of as a 'super giant' gas field... http://geology.com/articles/marcellus-shale.shtml | |
| Utica Shale - The Natural Gas Giant Below the Marcellus? | |
| English The Marcellus was the Opening Act A rock layer below the Marcellus Shale is developing into another incredible source of natural gas. The Marcellus Shale captured public attention when leasing and drilling activities began pumping billions of dollars into local economies and citizens began debating the environmental, social and economic impacts. All of this began suddenly in 2004 when Range Resources Corporation drilled the first Marcellus well using modern drilling technology... http://geology.com/articles/utica-shale/ | |

| Natural Gas Royalty Estimate | |
| English How much should you be paid for your gas? This calculator can be used to produce an estimate of your expected monthy income from a natural gas well, assuming that you can at least guess at the average well yield in millions of cubic feet per day. Keep in mind that this is merely an estimate and you could be paid a lot more money or a lot less. Also, this calculator estimates income for natural gas but some wells have additional income from oil, natural gas liquids or other commodities that are not included in this royalty estimate... http://geology.com/royalty/ | |
| Why Are My Royalty Payments Getting Smaller? | |
| English Declining Royalty Payments are Normal Lots of property owners who signed a lease in one of the natural gas shale plays such as the Marcellus, Barnett, Haynesville, Fayetteville, Bakken, Utica and Eagle Ford are now receiving monthly or quarterly royalty payments. Many of these people were pleasantly surprised with the amount paid in their first monthly check but then they were shocked when the amounts of subsequent payments rapidly declined .- even when the price of natural gas was holding steady... http://geology.com/royalty/production.shtml | |
| Assessment of Undiscovered Oil Resources in the Devonian-Mississippian Bakken Shale Formation, Williston Basin Province, Montana and North Dakota, 2008 | |

| The Natural Gas Forums | |
| English About The Natural Gas Forum For Landowners It was a normal, everyday evening in the fall of 2007. My wife and I had just finished a quiet dinner and were relaxing when a knock at the door announced the arrival of what would soon be called 'The Gasicane'. Now, we had been contacted over the past 30 years to lease for minerals and gas, but this time was different. Instead of the usual $10 or $15 an acre offer, the landman was offering $500 an acre. That set up some red flags, because in order for offers to jump that much, he had to know something that we did not. Worse yet, I really couldn't find anything on the web to help us to understand what was going on... http://www.naturalgasforums.com/ | |

| Modern Shale Gas Development in the United States: A Primer (2009) | |
 | English EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Natural gas production from hydrocarbon rich shale formations, known as “shale gas,” is one of the most rapidly expanding trends in onshore domestic oil and gas exploration and production today. In some areas, this has included bringing drilling and production to regions of the country that have seen little or no activity in the past.

Executive Summary The rapid development of shale gas resources in the past few years has already dramatically affected U.S. energy markets—lowering energy prices and carbon dioxide emissions—and could offer an affordable source of low-carbon energy to reduce dependence on coal and oil.1 However, the development of shale gas has been linked to a range of local environmental problems, generating a public backlash that threatens to bring production to a halt in some regions. While hydraulic fracturing in particular has been the focus of much controversy, our analysis indicates that the most significant environmental risks associated with the development of shale gas are similar to those associated with conventional onshore gas, ...

| Methane and the greenhouse-gas footprint of natural gas from shale formation | |
 | English Abstract: We evaluate the greenhouse gas footprint of natural gas obtained by highvolume hydraulic fracturing from shale formations, focusing on methane emissions. Natural gas is composed largely of methane, and 3.6% to 7.9% of the methane from shale-gas production escapes to the atmosphere in venting and leaks over the lifetime of a well. These methane emissions are at least 30% more than and perhaps more than twice as great as those from conventional gas. The higher emissions from shale gas occur at the time wells are hydraulically fractured—as methane escapes from flow-back return fluids—and during drill out following the fracturing.

Over the course of these years diagnostic work has been performed to assess the geometry of the complex network of fractures created during the pumping process. One of the tools used to “measure” the parameters of fracture azimuth, length, height and width of what has been termed as stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) is micro-seismic detection. The observed SRV coverage has proved very useful for predicting potential areas of communication between wells with increased density spacing. ... PDF-info.: Size = 1100 Kb.

| Methane Gas & Groundwater | |
 | English What is Methane Gas? Methane is the largest component of natural gas. In its natural form, methane gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. One natural source of methane is the decomposition of plant and animal waste. Methane gas may enter groundwater through natural or industrial processes. Other sources of methane gas include coal mines, wastewater treatment, landfills, natural gas and petroleum systems, and certain agricultural and industrial processes. Before being used as a fuel, methane gas is mixed with an odorant, as a safety measure to help detect leaks. PDF-info.: Size = 99 Kb. Publication = 2011-03 Pages 2.

Gas produces approximately half the amount of CO2 per unit of primary energy compared with coal. Here we consider a scenario where a fraction of coal usage is replaced by natural gas (i.e., methane, CH4 ) over a given time period, and where a percentage of the gas production is assumed to leak into the atmosphere. The additional CH4 from leakage adds to the radiative forcing of the climate system, offsetting the reduction in CO2 forcing that accompanies the transition from coal to gas.

| Exposing the Oil and Gas Industry’s False Jobs Promise for Shale Gas Development | |
 | English Executive Summary The oil and gas industry, industry-funded academics and ideological think tanks have promoted shale gas development — through the controversial process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking — as a sure-fire job creator during difficult economic times. Food & Water Watch closely examined a recent report touting the job-creation potential of shale gas development and found numerous inaccuracies and methodological flaws. Even after correcting for these problems, questions remain about the validity of using economic forecasting models to predict the economic impacts of expanded shale gas development.
