“Given all the energy buzz about shale gas, as well as the environmental concerns, we wanted to find an engaging way to share the actual day-to-day experiences of people living in the areas where the gas is being produced – the Haynesville shale in Louisiana, the Fayetteville in Arkansas, and the Marcellus in New York and Pennsylvania.” Quote from the “About ShaleCountry.com” page.
Westmont Resources Inc. will acquire 92 wells in the Chattanooga Shale of Scott County and Morgan County, Tennessee that are presently owned by Domestic Energy Corp. This announcement reveals some information about the Chattanooga and the wells that have been drilled. More at the Oil and Gas Journal.
The agenda for the Shale Gas Drilling & Completions 2010 conference to be held May 26-27 is now online. The conference will “deliver key insight into applying cutting-edge drilling and completions techniques used throughout diverse shale projects in the US & Canada. Leading shale producers will share real life examples of their drilling and completions success and challenges – including experience from the Barnett, Haynesville, Horn River, Marcellus, Woodford and Fayetteville shale plays.”
How long will the new natural gas shale plays be producing gas? 20 years? 40? More? This topic was discussed at IHS CERA conference last week in Houston. Some believe that they will be producing gas for a long time.
“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.
