Abstract
Abstract: Economics and Geology of the Natural Gas of North America
By
Producers are showing continuing interest in deep, high pressure gas reserves that
are found from 15,000 to 22,000 feet. The most important U.S. provinces containing
deep reserves are:
1. The Gulf Coast Embayments, which produce from the Miocene, Oligocene,
Paleocene, Eocene and Cretaceous.
2. The West Texas-New Mexico, Val Verde and Delaware Basins which produce
from the deep Ordovician trend.
3. The Anadarko basin in which Siluro-Devonian-Hunton zones produce gas.
Descriptions of the extent of these basins and their geology are discussed, and
the economics of gas from these basins is discussed in relation to the critical natural
gas shortage. End_of_Record - Last_Page 4---------------
