The Haynesville Shale Natural Gas Formation

The Haynesville Shale Natural Gas Field is a shale rock formation that dates back to the dinosaur age. Located in Louisiana ( Also called the Louisiana Shale or Shreveport Shale ) and East Texas, this rock deposit has been proven to hold a huge amount of natural gas. How much Natural Gas is in Haynesville Shale? Geologists estimate that there could be between 20-30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Haynesville Shale. This would be a bigger shale find then the Barnett Shale which is also located in Texas.

What Is The Haynesville Shale?

The Haynesville Shale is a rock formation containing oil and gas lying approximately 10,500 to 13,000 feet sub-surface in northwest Louisiana and East Texas. It is also called the Bossier shale in some places. Some geologists classify the two as the same. Some say the Bossier shale is separate and distinct, above the Haynesville shale. Sub-surface, the formations dip southward toward the Gulf Of Mexico; thus, the formation is found deeper the further south oil and gas wells are drilled.

Shale is sometimes called mudstone but mudstone, typically, does not have the laminations that shale does. Shale is very "tight," meaning it has little permeability, a measure of the rock's ability to allow a liquid or gas to pass through it. Usually, shales have low porosity; however, the Haynesville shale's porosity has been surprisingly higher than other shales. The higher the porosity a rock formation has, the more oil or gas its pore spaces can contain.
