>>How would you deal with this entire ungodly mess?<< I quit worrying about it last summer when I learned that we have potentially huge quantities of onshore shale gas under development in the lower 48 that will last for decades. You should relax too! <g> It's been suggested that Haynesville could be the 4th largest gas field in the world, totally dwarfing Point Thomson. And it's conveniently located close to existing infrastructure... Haynesville Shale The Haynesville Shale is a rock formation mainly composed of consolidated clay-sized particles deposited and buried in northwest Louisiana and East Texas more than 170 million years ago during the Upper Jurassic age. It is characterized by ultra-low permeability but has a high porosity compared to other shales. The Haynesville Shale came into prominence in 2008 as a potentially major shale gas resource. Producing natural gas from the Haynesville Shale involves drilling wells from 10,000 feet (3,000 m) and to 13,000 feet (4,000 m) deep. The formation is deeper in areas nearer the Gulf of Mexico. The Haynesville Shale has recently been estimated to be the largest natural gas field in the 48 states with an estimated 250 trillion cubic feet (7.1×1012 m3) of recoverable gas. Production has boomed since late March 2008, creating a number of new millionaires in the long-economically depressed region centering on Shreveport, Louisiana.[1] en.wikipedia.org
