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]
This is a list of countries by recoverable shale gas based on data collected by the Energy Information Administration agency of the United States Department of Energy. [1] Numbers for the estimated amount of recoverable shale gas resources are provided alongside numbers for proven natural gas reserves .
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.
48 structural basins with shale gas and oil, in 39 countries, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2011. As of 2013, the US, Canada, and China are the only countries producing shale gas in commercial quantities. The US and Canada are the only countries where shale gas is a significant part of the gas supply.
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.

The materials balance method for an oil or gas field uses an equation that relates the volume of oil, water and gas that has been produced from a reservoir and the change in reservoir pressure to calculate the remaining oil & gas. It assumes that, as fluids from the reservoir are produced, there will be a change in the reservoir pressure that ...
Shale gas and associated liquids produced throughout the country can support all the major chemical-producing regions, including the U.S. Gulf Coast, which today serves as a major hub of ...
Marcellus gas production has lowered the price of natural gas in the Mid-Atlantic states of the US, which previously were almost entirely dependent on gas pipelined in from the US Gulf Coast. From 2005 through 2008, wholesale gas prices at Mid-Atlantic states were $0.23 to $0.33 per million BTU above prices of the main Gulf Coast trading point ...
