Tight gas field, reservoir, and completion analysis of the United States. Volume 1. Project summary. Topical report, November 1, 1991-May 31, 1992
Tight gas fields, reservoirs, and completions have been identified in all non-Appalachian U.S. basins containing tight formation designations specified by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. A total of 909 fields containing 1,643 tight reservoirs and 37,074 tight gas completions have been identified (through 1988). Non-Appalachian tight production increased from 0.88 Tcf per year in 1970 to 1.71 Tcf per year in 1985 before declining slightly to 1.65 Tcf in 1988. Tight ultimate recovery (cumulative production plus proven reserves) is estimated to be 52.3 Tcf. Evaluation includes basin and formation level evaluation of completion counts, production, ultimate recovery, field size distribution and well density.
