Haynesville-Bossier Shale

The Haynesville Shale play was first discovered in 2008 by Chesapeake Energy. Located throughout east Texas, northwest Louisiana, and southwest Arkansas, this rock formation is an of average 200-300 feet thick, lies between 10,500 to 13,000 feet under the earth’s surface, and is about 9,000 square miles in size. The richest segment of the play is in Louisiana, specifically in the city of DeSoto Parish, where most of the drilling operations are focused. The play lies just below a layer of Bossier Shale, which is a separate formation but has led to the Haynesville-Bossier name. Bossier Shale has also been used to develop natural gas.

Permian Basin

Located across more than 86,000 square miles in the southwestern U.S., the Permian Basin offers one of the largest natural gas and oil fields in the country. This play is found across southeast New Mexico and west Texas, starting just south of Lubbock, reaching past Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, and Carlsbad, and stretching almost to the Rio Grande River in the south. It represents one of the thickest rock formations from the Permian period, which led to its name. Several smaller basins are found within the play, including the Midland Basin, the largest; the Delaware Basin; and the Marfa Basin, the smallest. The Permian Basin contains over 20 of the top oil fields in the country.

Eagle Ford Shale

The Eagle Ford Shale once represented one of the top resources for oil and natural gas around the world. Located across 12 counties in south Texas, the Eagle Ford Shale and its outcrops stretch from the Texas-Oklahoma border toward the Rio Grande River, San Antonio, the Quitman Mountains in West Texas, and Big Bend National Park. It is also found in east and south Texas, as well as Mexico. Cities within the play include San Antonio, Dallas, and Corpus Christi. The Eagle Ford Shale is located across 20,000 square miles and has an average thickness of 250 feet.

Barnett Shale

Barnett Shale is located in the Bend Arch-Fort Worth Basin, which is found right under the city of Fort Worth, Texas. This play is 5,000 square miles in size, stretching across at least 17 counties. Though experts believe this play has the largest natural gas reserves in the U.S., production has been hindered by two factors. First, much of the gas field is located beneath the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, a rapidly expanding urban area that limits drilling space. The play is also made up of a very impermeable shale, making this a “tight” gas field, which limited production until the development of hydraulic fracturing technology.

Delaware Basin

The Delaware Basin is located across southern New Mexico and West Texas. This play is one of the three basins included within the Permian Basin, which is part of the Mid-Continent oil province. The area is surrounded by the Carlsbad Caverns National Park and the Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Some of the counties within the play include Eddy, Chaves, and Lea in New Mexico and Jeff Davis, Ward, Loving, Reeves, and Culberson in west Texas. The Delaware Basin stretches across more than 10,000 square miles and provides both natural gas and oil reserves.

Woodford Basin and Anadarko Basin

The Anadarko Basin is found in southwest Kansas, southeast Colorado, west Oklahoma, and in the western part of the Texas Panhandle. Several oil and gas fields are located throughout its 50,000 square miles, including West Edmond Field, Hugoton-PanHandle Gas Field, the Elk City Field, and Union City Field. The play’s natural reserves are found in numerous rocks within the basin, including the Woodford formation, Ordovician Carbonates, and numerous shale groups. In the deepest part of the Anadarko Basin, the sedimentary column is nearly 40,000 feet in thickness, making it one of the deepest basins in the country.

Niobrara Basin

The Niobrara Basin stretches across Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and South Dakota, but much of its drilling activity occurs in southeast Wyoming and northeast Colorado. The play is located within the Denver-Julesburg Basin and also throughout several areas of the Rocky Mountains, including Wyoming’s Powder River.

Utica Shale

Utica Shale is found through a large portion of the northeastern U.S. and stretches into adjacent parts of Canada. Located within the Appalachian Basin, this play lies beneath most of west Maryland, Kentucky, Ontario, and Quebec. It is also found throughout Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. The play is 115,000 square miles in size and is 1,000 feet at its thickest point and 70 feet at its thinnest.

Marcellus Basin

The Marcellus Basin is located throughout the eastern U.S., with a large portion of Marcellus Shale found near Marcellus, New York. The play is 104,000 square miles and reaches into western New York, eastern Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The Marcellus Basin is the largest natural gas source in the United States and is the leading producer of both natural gas and shale gas. The play’s natural gas is trapped between two layers of limestone, which increases mining difficulty and requires hydraulic fracturing techniques to access the reserves.
