The barnett shale was deposited 330 million years ago in a deep ocean basin during what geologic time period?
Mississippian
Where is the Barnett Shales located?
The Barnett Shale is a geological structure located in the Bend Arch-Fort Worth Basin, Texas, USA. It consists of sedimentary rocks of Mississippian age.
What type of rock is chainman shale?
Oil rich Mississippian!
What resources does the Barnett Shale produce?
Some highly-respected experts would suggest that the Barnett Shale just might have the largest producible reserves of any onshore natural gas field in the continental United States. There's also some oil down around there.
What are minerals in Louisiana?
Louisiana exports petroleum and coal products. The Port of South Louisiana, located on the Mississippi between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest volume shipping port in the Western Hemisphere and 4th largest in the world, as well as the largest bulk cargo port in the world.
Is shale gas found under the see?
It can be. It is found in a rock type called shale and is produced in the shale form the original bio mater included in the deposition of the shale. If a unit of shale lithology is to be found on the continental shelf strata then it is likely that that shale will contain shale gas and it will be under the sea.
What is difference between barnett shale gas and propane and crude oil?
The "Barnett Shale" is a particular shale formation found in central North Texas, and Southern Ok, that can produce natural gas. The natural gas is the same gas found in any other formation only extracted a little differently. Propane would be refined from natural gas, with no regard as to where it came from. Crude oil, meaning oil extracted directly from the ground in it's natural state, is unrefined and can be full of impurities, water, etc., thus crude.
Who discovered the marcellus shale?
Shale gas is natural gas produced from a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock composed of mud that is a mix of clay mineral flakes and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite, known as shale. In 1821, the town of Fredonia, New York, commerically drilled a well that produced natural gas from the Devonian Fredonia Shale formation.Devonian shale gas was generated from organic mud deposited specifically during the Devonian Period (geologic period and system of the Paleozoic Era spanning from . Most earlier Devonian Shale "plays" concentrated on shallower, high-organic zones, especially zones with high frequencies of natural fractures. Years later, while digging for oil and gas in Upstate New York's Appalachian Basin, Donald Wallace III and his team of geologists discovered fields of Devonian black shale outcrops. They named these distinctive outcrops after the town they were found in, and so became the Marcellus Wallace Shale Formation (also classified as the Marcellus Wallace Subgroup of the Hamilton Group, Marcellus Wallace Member of the Romney Formation, or simply the Marcellus Shale) For more information, go to themarcellusshale.com
Horizontal gas drilling by Chesapeake?
Chesapeake is on of the major players in the horizontal gas drilling market with lots and lots of wells in the Barnett shale of north Texas. http://www.energyindustryphotos.com/how_oil_and_gas_wells_are_drille.htm
What type of metamorphic rock could be produced from mud?
If the mud has lithified into shale or mudstone, then metamorphosed, the answer would be slate.
What has the author Jerry Alvin Lineback written?

What part of speech is shale?
Shale is a noun.
