by Shale Play

Deals done for Shale Gas resources.

Shale has such low permeability that it releases gas very slowly. However, shale can hold an enormous amount of natural gas. The most prolific shales are relatively flat, thick, and predictable, and the formations are so large that their wells will continue producing gas at a steady rate for decades - 30 years or more. Effective, economic hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling are the primary enabling technologies behind the recent surge in shale gas production. Horizontal drilling has been an efficient way of removing gas from conventional reservoirs, coal seams, and even from tight gas reservoirs.
Shale gas wells are not hard to drill, but they are difficult to complete. In almost every case, the rock around the wellbore must be hydraulically fractured before the well can produce significant amounts of gas. Fracturing involves isolating sections of the well in the producing zone, then pumping fluids and proppant (grains of sand or other material used to hold the cracks open) down the wellbore through perforations in the casing and out into the shale. The pumped fluid, under pressures up to 8,000 psi, is enough to crack shale as much as 3,000 ft in each direction from the wellbore. In the deeper high-pressure shales, operators pump slickwater (a low-viscosity waterbased fluid) and proppant. Nitrogen-foamed fracturing fluids are commonly pumped on shallower shales and shales with low reservoir pressures.
Gas shale reservoirs in the United States tend to be found within three depth ranges between 250and 8,000 ft. The New Albany and Antrim shales, for example, have some 9,000 wells in the range of250 to 2,000 ft. In the Appalachian basin shales and the Devonian and Lewis shales, there are about 20,000 wells from 3,000 to 5,000 ft. Although the Barnett and Woodford shales are much deeper, the Caney and Fayetteville shales are from 2,000 ft
The Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth basin of North Central Texas is by far the most active shale gas play in the United States. The reservoir ranges from 100 ft to more than 1,000 ft in gross thickness and holds from 50-200 bcf of gas per square mile. The Gas Technology Institute estimates that organic shale reservoirs in the United States contain up to 780 trillion cu ft  of gas. So far the United States is the only country with a large shale gas industry.
