| Summary |
The Barnett Shale is well known in the oil and gas industry. What once was an afterthought in domestic natural gas drilling is now one of the largest natural gas plays in North America. The Barnett Shale is named after John W. Barnett who, along with his family, settled in San Saba County during the 1870s. The Barnett Shale play in the Fort Worth Basin is one of the 10 richest hydrocarbon systems in the world, and one of the largest onshore natural gas plays within the continental US, with an estimated 26 Tcf to 39 Tcf of recoverable reserves. Overall, cumulative gas production from the Barnett Formation has totaled 6.2 Tcf of gas, or just over 1 billion boe, as of June 2009. The Barnett Formation has quickly grown from 500 MMcf/d in 2001 to 1,200 MMcf/d in 2005 to 5,000 MMcf/d in 2009 (from nearly 11,000 active wells). |
