Haynesville Shale

The Haynesville Shale is a large natural gas reservoir located mainly in northwestern Louisiana and a part of Texas. Discovered in the mid-2000s, it is part of a geological formation that contains significant amounts of natural gas trapped in dense rock layers. The shale is accessed through advanced drilling techniques, such as hydraulic fracturing (fracking), which involves injecting water and chemicals to release the gas. The Haynesville Shale is one of the most productive gas fields in the United States, contributing to energy supply and economic development in the region.
