6 FAQs about [Wolfcamp shale drilling rig report]

How much natural gas is in the Wolfcamp Shale?

The Wolfcamp shale in the Midland Basin portion of Texas’ Permian Basin province contains an estimated mean of 20 billion barrels of oil, 16 trillion cubic feet of associated natural gas, and 1.6 billion barrels of natural gas liquids, according to an assessment by the U.S. Geological Survey.

What is the USGS Wolfcamp Shale assessment?

USGS is the only provider of publicly available estimates of undiscovered technically recoverable oil and gas resources of onshore lands and offshore state waters. The USGS Wolfcamp shale assessment was undertaken as part of a nationwide project assessing domestic petroleum basins using standardized methodology and protocol.

Where is Wolfcamp Shale located?

The Wolfcamp shale is also present in the Delaware Basin portion of the Permian Basin province, but was not included in this assessment. The Permian Basin province includes a series of basins and other geologic formations in West Texas and southern New Mexico. It is one of the most productive areas for oil and gas in the entire United States.

How much natural gas is in Wolfcamp?

USGS estimates undiscovered, continuous, hydrocarbon resources of only the Wolfcamp formation in the Midland Basin to be in excess of 19 billion barrels of oil, 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 1.6 billion barrels of natural gas liquids (NGL), making it one of the largest hydrocarbon plays in the United States (Gaswirth, et al., 2016).

How many benches are there in the Wolfcamp Shale?

The Wolfcamp Shale is divided into four sections, or benches, known as the Wolfcamp A, B, C, and D (Gaswirth et al., 2017; Gupta et al., 2018). In the Midland Basin, the four benches of the Wolfcamp formation each display different characteristics in terms of lithology, fossil content, porosity, total organic content, and thermal maturity.

What are the four sections of the Wolfcamp Shale?

The Wolfcamp Shale is divided into four sections, or benches, known as the Wolfcamp A, B, C, and D. The Wolfcamp D is also known as the Cline Shale. The most drilled targets to date are the A and B benches.
