Haynesville Shale

The Haynesville Shale is a rock formation mainly composed of consolidated clay-sized particles deposited and buried in northwest Louisiana and East Texas more than 170 million years ago during the Upper Jurassic age. It is characterized by ultra-low permeability but has a high porosity compared to other shales.

The Haynesville Shale came into prominence in 2008 as a potentially major shale gas resource. Producing natural gas from the Haynesville Shale involves drilling wells from 10,000 feet and to 13,000 feet deep. The formation is deeper in areas nearer the Gulf of Mexico. The Haynesville Shale has recently been estimated to be the largest natural gas field in the contiguous 48 states with an estimated 250 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas. Production has boomed since late March 2008, creating a number of new millionaires in the Shreveport, Louisiana region.

    Shale Gas Resources - this is pretty intense. I never knew that such emphasis could be placed on this natural resource. But now I know - it's pretty awesome. Good job on that one. You're providing us with a window into 170 million years of history and a look at the largest natural gas reserve on the planet. Good job.I'd like to write something about this in my bingo blog. Take a look at this bingo-room for more info. Maybe we can work together in some form to create increased awareness.
