- 1 The Bowland-Hodder shale gas play (or Bowland-Hodder shales) is the term used in this report for an amalgamation of shales of Visean to early Namurian age that includes the Bowland Shale Formation (and its equivalents) together with older shales which equate to the Hodder Mudstone Formation.irky Misperton 1 drilled a complete Bowland-Hodder unit thickness of 4598 ft (1401 m). The organic-rich upper part of the Bowland-Hodder unit is typically up to c.500 ft (150 m) thick, but locally reaches 2900 ft (890 m).

Shale Shale is a rock composed mainly of clay-size mineral grains. These tiny grains are usually clay minerals such as illite, kaolinite and smectite. Shale usually contain other clay-size mineral particles such as quartz, chert and feldspar.hale is a rock composed mainly of clay-size mineral grains.

Structural Geology West of Centropolis, in sec. 24 and 25, T. 15 S., R. 18 E., a generally north-trending fault was mapped. The stratigraphic sequence on the upthrown and downthrown sides of the fault is well exposed along the east-west county road between sections 24 and 25. There, a normal thickness of Toronto Limestone crops out on the west (upthrown) side. On the east (downthrown) side, the Toronto Limestone is absent and the rock section comprises Lawrence-Snyderville Shale, Leavenworth Limestone, Heebner Shale, and Plattsmouth Limestone.

- The Bakken Shale is a formation of oil deposits that spread across Montana and North Dakota. It is estimated to hold 4.3 billions barrels of oil, the largest oil find in U.S. history.he increased production in the Bakken Shale formation has brought significant economic activity to the region. North Dakota, unlike many other states, now has a budget surplus, and received more than $749.5 million in state revenues from oil production in 2010 alone.

Shale Oil shale usually meets the definition of shale in that it is a laminated rock consisting of at least 67% clay minerals, however; it sometimes contains enough organic material and carbonate minerals that clay minerals account for less than 67% of the rock. Shale is a rock composed mainly of clay-size mineral grains. These tiny grains are usually clay minerals such as illite, kaolinite and smectite. Shale usually contain other clay-size mineral particles such as quartz, chert and feldspar.

Shale For other uses, see Shale (disambiguation) . Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock composed of mud that is a mix of flakes of clay minerals and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite.The ratio of clay to other minerals is variable.hales and mudrocks contain roughly 95 percent of the organic matter in all sedimentary rocks. However, this amounts to less than one percent by mass in an average shale. Black shales which form in anoxic conditions contain reduced free carbon along with ferrous iron (Fe 2+) and sulfur (S 2−).

Oil shale geology Most oil shale deposits were formed during Middle Cambrian, Early and Middle Ordovician, Late Devonian, Late Jurassic, and Paleogene times through burial by sedimentary loading on top of the algal swamp deposits, resulting in conversion of the organic matter to kerogen by diagenetic processes.arge lake oil shale basins are typically found in areas of block faulting or crustal warping due to mountain building. Deposits such as the Green River may be as much as 2,000 feet (610 m) and yield up to 40 gallons of oil for each ton (166 l/t) of shale.

Pictures of Sedimentary Rocks Oil shale is a rock that contains significant amounts of organic material in the form of kerogen. Up to 1/3 of the rock can be solid kerogen. Liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons can be extracted from oil shale but the rock must be heated and/or treated with solvents.

Marcellus Formation Marcellus Formation (also classified as the Marcellus Subgroup of the Hamilton Group, Marcellus Member of the Romney Formation, or simply the Marcellus Shale) is a unit of marine sedimentary rock found in eastern North America.he Marcellus Formation is a black shale that may contain limestone beds and concentrations of iron pyrite (Fe S 2) and siderite (Fe CO3). Its sedimentary structure, or bedding, is moderately well developed.

Eagle Ford Shale Map Eagle Ford Shale Eagle Ford The Eagle Ford shale formation in South Texas runs from the US-Mexico border north of Laredo in a narrow band extending northeast for several hundred miles to just north of Houston. It is located directly below the Austin Chalk. The average thickness of the Eagle Ford shale is about 475 feet. The more active part of the region is mainly in McMullen, Maverick, Dimmit, La Salle, Karnes, Live Oak, and Atascosa counties. The formation produces both natural gas and oil, but it is the oil-producing and gas condensate areas that are hottest right now.

What is Shale Gas? How Does Fracking Work? Shale Gas. Shale is a compressed fine-grained type of sedimentary rock. It was formed from mud silt, clay, and organic matter. Shale gas is natural gas trapped within tiny pore spaces in shale formations. It is a hydrocarbon gas mixture. It consists mainly of methane. Other hydrocarbons are natural gas liquids (NGLs) like ethane, propane, and butane, and it also contains carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide.

- Shares of BreitBurn Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ:BBEP) continue to offer appeal among dividend investors after the oil and gas partnership announced the acquisition of the Oklahoma Panhandle assets from Whiting Oil and Gas.reitBurn will pay approximately $860 million for the assets which have a daily production rate of 7,400 barrels of oil equivalent per day, of which 87% is oil. Estimated proven reserves of the assets came in at 35 million barrels of oil equivalent, enough to maintain current production for 13 years.

Clarkia fossil beds Clarkia fossil beds. Fossil leaves from Clarkia fossil beds. The Clarkia fossil beds (also known locally as the Fossil Bowl) is a Miocene lagerstätte near Clarkia, Idaho. The fossil beds were laid down in a lake roughly 15-million-years ago, when a drainage basin was dammed by the flood basalts of the Columbia River Plateau.

What is Shale Gas? Shale gas is found in shale plays, which are shale formations containing significant accumulations of natural gas and which share similar geologic and geographic properties. A decade of production has come from the Barnett Shale play in Texas. Experience and information gained from developing the Barnett Shale have improved the efficiency of shale gas development around the country.

- Shale gas activities in Britain: results of a BGS-DECC study on the Bowland and Hodder shales in the North of England.etails of how the estimate was made are in the report but in brief the key to the estimate was to calculate the volume of shale in the chosen area. To get this BGS built a 3D static model using 64 key wells and 15000 miles of seismic, as well as years of data from shale outcrops.

About Oil Shale Oil shale. The term oil shale generally refers to any sedimentary rock that contains solid bituminous materials (called kerogen) that are released as petroleum-like liquids when the rock is heated in the chemical process of pyrolysis.

Shale Although drilling can extract large amounts of oil and natural gas from the reservoir rock, much of it remains trapped within the shale. This oil and gas is very difficult to remove because it is trapped within tiny pore spaces or adsorbed onto clay mineral particles that make-up the shale.
