The following maps show the drilling history and oil and gas production of selected low-permeability, continuous-type shale reservoirs. Selected geologic characteristics pertinent to occurrence of producible oil and gas resources are also shown when available. Duvernay: The Duvernay Shale is an emerging oil and liquids-rich formation in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin that is thought to hold 443 Tcf of natural gas, 11.3 billion bbls of NGLs, and 61.7 billion bbls of oil Eastern Canada: Alberta & British Columbia dominate oil & gas production in Canada, In 2009, US shale gas production grew 54% to 3.11 trillion cubic feet (88 billion cubic metres), while remaining proven US shale reserves at year-end 2009 increased 76% to 60.6 trillion cubic feet (1.72 trillion cubic metres).

18 Jun 2013 North American Natural Gas Shale Areas as of 2011. The EROI had been for a few years the darling of the peak oil enthusiasts. The Marcellus Shale is only one of several fields in active development and not necessarily  The following maps show the drilling history and oil and gas production of selected low-permeability, continuous-type shale reservoirs.

In its Annual Energy Outlook for 2011, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) The Permian consists of several shale plays that overlay the Permian Basin, including the Avalon, Wolfcamp, Bone Spring Field, Spraberry Field, and Yeso Oil Play. Eight operators account for 70% of drilling in the Permian: Pioneer Natural Resources, Concho Resources, Apache, Oxy, Energen, Sandridge, Cimarex, and EOG.

10 Biggest Shale Plays in the US. Permian: Western Texas. With a natural gas production of 5 billion cubic feet per day and an oil production of 1.3 million barrels each day Eagle Ford: Southern Texas. Marcellus: Appalachian Basin. Niobrara: South Dakota, Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming.

The Permian consists of several shale plays that overlay the Permian Basin, including the Avalon, Wolfcamp, Bone Spring Field, Spraberry Field, and Yeso Oil Play. Eight operators account for 70% of drilling in the Permian: Pioneer Natural Resources, Concho Resources, Apache, Oxy, Energen, Sandridge, Cimarex, and EOG. The main shale oil and gas basins of the USA are shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 Cartoon showing conventional gas being accessed by a vertical well and shale gas being accessed by a sub-horizontal well. An oil basin (also known as a sedimentary basin) is a depression in the Earth's crust that is formed by plate tectonics. Most basins contain shale to some degree, allowing for the mining and production of shale gas. 10 Biggest Shale Plays in the US. Permian: Western Texas. With a natural gas production of 5 billion cubic feet per day and an oil production of 1.3 million barrels each day Eagle Ford: Southern Texas. Marcellus: Appalachian Basin. Niobrara: South Dakota, Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. Texas is the heart of oil and gas activity, with both the Permian and Eagle Ford driving tremendous amounts of production and activity. In total, the oil and gas industry employed about 211,700 people in Texas in March, up 3,500 from February. “Oil and gas extraction” jobs increased slightly to 92,500,
