Barnett Shale in the US, 2011 - Gas Shale Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2020
Summary
"Barnett Shale in the US, 2011 - Gas Shale Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2020" is the latest report from GlobalData, the industry analysis specialist, which provides insight into the shale gas exploration and development potential in the Barnett play. The report also provides details of the key exploration shale areas and major companies exploring the Fort Worth Basin of the Barnett Shale Play. The report also highlights the parameters for gas exploration and production, and discusses the challenges involved in the shale gas exploration and production activities in the play. The report discusses drilling activities in the Fort Worth region of the Barnett shale play in the US, detailing the companies involved and their coverage across the different counties of Texas. The report also discusses the drivers and challenges to the development of the play.
The Barnett shale play is a large onshore gas field and has driven the growth in the shale gas industry. It is estimated to contain about one-third of the total proven reserves from shale plays in the US. The shale play still contains large amounts of undiscovered and technically recoverable hydrocarbon reserves. In stringent times, when many oil and gas resource fields have become subjective to high depletion rates, new onshore gas field discoveries in the Barnett shale play have provided scope for development.
Scope
The report analyzes the Barnett shale gas exploration and production activities in the US. The scope of the report includes -
- An overview of the oil and gas exploration in the Barnett shale.
