A new import terminal for liquefied natural gas has been approved for the Alabama coast. It will be located about 63 miles offshore and the LNG will be heated into natural gas in a closed-loop system. More at The Dallas Morning News.
From the Alabama Geological Survey’s Conasauga Formation Shale Gas Play website.: “The Conasauga Shale Gas Pool should initially be defined as that interval of the Conasauga Shale productive of hydrocarbons between 1,946 feet and 6,944 feet as indicated on the Array Induction-GR Density-APS log of the Dominion Black Warrior Basin, Inc. Newman 27-07-06 Well, Permit No. 14495 including those strata productive of hydrocarbons which can be correlated therewith, and all zones in communication therewith, and productive extensions thereof. However, the upper and lower productive limits of the Conasauga Shale Gas Pool in the proposed field have yet to be fully defined. Said pool constitutes a separate and distinct gas producing pool in said field, separate and distinct from any other producing pool in said field.”
From the Alabama Geological Survey website: “To assist in the development of emerging gas shale plays in Alabama, the Geological Survey of Alabama is conducting a three-year study on the geology and development potential of gas shale in the Black Warrior basin and Appalachian thrust belt of Alabama. These areas contain a diversity of emerging gas shale plays in Cambrian through Mississippian strata.”
“During the past four years, more than twenty wells were drilled or re-entered in Lamar, Pickens, Tuscaloosa, Blount, and Cullman Counties, Alabama, to attempt completions in the Mississippian Floyd Shale or Devonian Chattanooga Shale.” More at the Alabama Geological Survey website.
