Change-in-Practice Foundation Executive Summary: Barnett Shale activity has vastly declined since its peak in 2008. “The decline in Barnett Shale drilling can be attributed to several factors. The industry has rushed to shift resources to areas that produce crude oil‚ like the Bakken Shale in North Dakota and the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas‚ which sells for higher prices than gas. And other shale gas fields like the booming Marcellus Shale have surpassed the Barnett in daily production‚ further pushing

The Marcellus Shale formation is located in Pennsylvania‚ New York‚ Ohio and West Virginia. This land is very popular because of its tight‚ deep shale formations which have the potential to hold a lot of natural gas. The Marcellus Shale is large and covers a widespread amount of land area in the Northeastern United States. Researchers say that there is a potential for the Marcellus Shale formation to hold around 500 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in its shale deposits deep beneath the earth’s

Shale gas is natural gas formed from being trapped within shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States over the past decade‚ and interest has spread to potential gas shale’s in the rest of the world. In 2000 shale gas provided only 1% of U.S. natural gas production; due to rising oil prices gas prices have also been affected by the rise therefore there was big demand for gas in the US which in 2010 it was over 20% and the U.S. government’s
