What is the process for exploring for and producing natural gas in the Barnett Shale?
There are four phases in the process of exploring for and producing natural gas in the Barnett Shale. The Seismic Phase is the process of acquiring 3-D seismic information to evaluate the subsurface; the Drilling Phase is the process of constructing the drill site area and drilling through the subsurface; the Completion Phase is the process of fracture stimulating the well to allow the natural gas to flow; and the Production Phase is the process of producing the natural gas from the well and delivering it to market.
