In this episode, we provide a summary of the oil and gas activity and historical significance of the Barnett Shale Formation in Texas. The Barnett Shale is one of the most productive shale gas plays in the United States and has played a significant role in the growth of the U.S. energy sector. We cover the geology of the Barnett Shale, the top oil and gas operators, political and economic risks to future development, and what the future may hold for this legacy tight gas play. As always, the charts, graphs, and resources mentioned in this episode can be found at mineralrightspodcast.com.
