Total Gross Production from Fayetteville Shale Reached 944bcf in 2011, Says GlobalData

04 Feb 2013 • by Natalie Aster

The Fayetteville shale has, in the nine years of its development, evolved to be a significant onshore natural gas producing play in the US. Total gross production from the Fayetteville shale increased from 0.1bcf (billion cubic feet) in 2004 to 944bcf in 2011 (AOGC, 2012a).

The Fayetteville Shale Attracted Substantial Funds for the Future Development of Natural Gas Resources - The recent downturn in natural gas prices has initiated a process of consolidation in the Fayetteville shale. With small players unable to cope with the low gas price pressures opting out of the shale, large companies have been provided with an opportunity to enhance their gas portfolio through the acquisition of these small companies or their acreage in the shale.

The increased initial production rates and Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) from the Fayetteville shale play, along with the decreasing costs for developing wells there, makes the Fayetteville shale an attractive investment destination.
