Technical and economic assessments of recoverable gas from the Devonian shales were performed to quantify the potential impacts that technology advancements could have on gas marginal cost-supply relationships. An area of 22,056 square miles (approximately 20% of Appalachian Basin underlain by Devonian shale) is considered in the analysis. The study area contains 123.5 TCF of in-place gas. Gas production flow models and cost models developed for the analysis indicate maximum recoverable reserves using Base Case Technology to be 22.1 TCF and 51.7 TCF using Advanced Case Technology.
