Antrim Shale, Michigan
The Antrim Shale is a formation of Upper Devonian age in the Michigan Basin, in the US state of Michigan, and extending into Ohio and Indiana. It is a major source of natural gas in the northern part of the basin. The Antrim Shale was defined by A. C. Lane in 1901, and named for type-section exposures in Antrim County, Michigan. The formation was previously known as the St. Cleric Shale in Michigan, and the Genessee Shale in Indiana. |

Bakken Shale
The Bakken Formation, initially described by geologist J.W. Nordquist in 1953,[2] is a rock unit from the Late Devonian to Early Mississippian age occupying about 200,000 square miles (520,000 km2) of the subsurface of the Williston Basin, covering parts of Montana, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan. Bakken field, a booming unconventional oil play that could soon make North Dakota the second-largest oil-producing state after Texas. The rapid development of the Bakken – which now is now producing 350,000 barrels a day – signals a dramatic new chapter in North American oil industry, where conventional, onshore production was recently considered to be in terminal decline |

Barnett Shale, Texas
The Barnett Shale of the Fort Worth Basin is the most active shale gas play in the United States. The first Barnett Shale well was completed in 1981 in Wise County. Drilling expanded greatly in the past several years due to higher natural gas prices and use of horizontal wells to increase production. In contrast to older shale gas plays, such as the Antrim Shale, the New Albany Shale, and the Ohio Shale, the Barnett Shale completions are much deeper (up to 8,000 feet). The thickness of the Barnett varies from 100 to 1,000 feet (300 m), but most economic wells are located where the shale is between 300 and 600 feet (180 m) thick. The success of the Barnett has spurred exploration of other deep shales. In 2007, the Barnett shale (Newark East) gas field produced 1.11 trillion cubic feet of gas, making it the second-largest source of natural gas in the United States.[15] The Barnett shale currently produces more than 6% of US natural gas production.

Eagle Ford Shale
The Eagle Ford is about six times bigger than the Barnett Shale and is cheaper to drill and lease. The shale underlies the Austin Chalk and Edwards formation. It is considered by geologists to be the "source rock", or the original source of hydrocarbons (oil and gas) that are now found in the Austin Chalk and Edwards formation above it. It just may be the next big natural gas play on a scale similar to the Haynesville shale in Louisiana. |

Fayetteville Shale, Arkansas
The Mississippian Fayetteville Shale produces gas in the Arkansas part of the Arkoma Basin. The productive section varies in thickness from 50 to 550 feet (170 m), and in depth from 1500 to 6,500 feet (2,000 m). The shale gas was originally produced through vertical wells, but operators are increasingly going to horizontal wells in the Fayetteville. Producers include SEECO a subsidiary of Southwestern Energy Co. who discovered the play, Chesapeake Energy, Noble Energy Corp., XTO Energy Inc., Contango Oil & Gas Co., Edge Petroleum Corp., Triangle Petroleum Corp., and Kerogen Resources Inc.

Haynesville Shale, Louisiana
Although the Jurassic Haynesville Shale of northwest Louisiana has produced gas since 1905, it has been the focus of modern shale gas activity only since a gas discovery drilled by Cubic Energy in November 2007. The Cubic Energy discovery was followed by a March 2008 announcement by Chesapeake Energy that it had completed a Haynesville Shale gas well. Haynesville shale wells have also been drilled in northeast Texas, where it is also known as the Bossier Shale. |

Marcellus Shale
The Marcellus shale in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York, once thought to be played out, is now estimated to hold 168-516 TCF still available with horizontal drilling. It has been suggested that the Marcellus shale and other Devonian shales of the Appalachian Basin, could supply the northeast U.S. with natural gas. In November 2008, Chesapeake Energy, which held 1.8 million net acres of oil and gas leases in the Marcellus trend, sold a 32.5% interest in its leases to Statoil of Norway, for $3.375 billion.

Monterey Shale
Monterey shale in southern California has been producing in one way or another for more than 100 years. The Monterey shale may be practically oozing oil that can range anywhere from 6 degree API gravity up to the 30-plus degree API realm of light crude, but evaluating and understanding this baby can be mentally taxing given the fact that it’s at best a mishmash of rock types Subforums: Monterey Shale News |

Niobrara Shale
The Niobrara Shale has a potential to be a ‘‘world-class play,’’ producing millions of barrels of oil and natural gas and spawning thousands of jobs. The formation, which sits about 7,000 feet underground, spreads across northeast Colorado and into southeast Wyoming and southwest Nebraska. Subforums: Niobrara Shale News |
