Tennyson Kristen R. Marra 2016 <p>In 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) released an updated assessment of undiscovered, technically recoverable shale gas and shale oil resources of the Mississippian Barnett Shale in north-central Texas (Marra and others, 2015). The Barnett Shale was assessed using the standard continuous (unconventional) methodology established by the USGS for two assessment units (AUs): (1) Barnett Continuous Gas AU, and (2) Barnett Mixed Continuous Gas and Oil AU. A third assessment unit, the Western Barnett Continuous Oil AU, was also defined but was not quantitatively assessed because of limited data within the extent of the AU. The purpose of this report is to provide supplemental documentation of the quantitative input parameters applied in the Barnett Shale assessment.</p> application/pdf 10.3133/ofr20161097 en U.S. Geological Survey Input-form data for the U.S. Geological Survey assessment of the Mississippian Barnett Shale of the Bend Arch-Fort Worth Basin Province, 2015 reports
