Old Regulations Slow Chattanooga Shale Development
Sunday, October 5th, 2008
The Chattanooga Shale underlies vast portions of Tennessee and is even named after a locality in the state. Some old regulations would require wells that do not produce be sealed within six months. That could kill the common practice of “shutting-in” highly productive wells until pipelines can be built. People don’t build pipelines just incase a well produces. They drill the well and the production potential justifies the pipeline.
