US shale gas basins, 2011. Shale gas in the United States is an available source of unconventional natural gas.Led by new applications of hydraulic fracturing technology and horizontal drilling, development of new sources of shale gas has offset declines in production from conventional gas reservoirs, and has led to major increases in reserves of U.S. natural gas.
Natural gas production 1973-2022 U.S. natural gas monthly production, imports, and exports Discovered shale gas deposits as of June 2016 Natural gas production by State. Natural gas was the United States' largest source of energy production in 2016, representing 33 percent of all energy produced in the country. [1]
The Illinois Basin has produced more than four billion barrels of petroleum. [6] Major oil production began in 1905, and from 1907 through 1912, the basin was the third-most oil productive area in the United States. Oil production peaked in 1908 at 34 million barrels per year, and declined steadily to 5 million barrels in 1933.
In 1996, shale gas wells in the United States produced 0.3 × 10 ^ 12 cu ft (8.5 km 3), 1.6% of US gas production; by 2006, production had more than tripled to 1.1 × 10 ^ 12 cu ft (31 km 3) per year, 5.9% of US gas production. By 2005, there were 14,990 shale gas wells in the US. [20]
Shale gas is one of a number of unconventional sources of natural gas; others include coalbed methane, tight sandstones, and methane hydrates. Shale gas areas are often known as resource plays [27] (as opposed to exploration plays). The geological risk of not finding gas is low in resource plays, but the potential profits per successful well ...
Push to build more CO2 pipelines and store vast amounts of the gas underground in Illinois raises alarms about safety regulations Nara Schoenberg, Chicago Tribune July 31, 2023 at 4:00 AM
Data was retrieved from, [3] depletion levels from [4] or calculated from open source production data. Notes: Gasfields are non-associated gas and condensate fields. Size refers to ultimate recoverable reserves (including past production) expressed in trillion cubic feet.
