The Haynesville Shale has fought its way back into contention with top natural gas plays. As Nissa Darbonne, editor-at-large for Oil and Gas Investor, adds the Haynesville’s been keeping some secrets. It’s producing as much as ever—more than 10 billion cubic feet a day. And there are about as many rigs drilling it as the Marcellus. This issue of Oil and Gas Investor explores the hidden gem that is the Haynesville.
Also in this issue:
- Jerry Jones, the career oil and gas man, has put his money on U.S. natural gas via Comstock Resources Inc. and the Haynesville Shale.
- After a dozen offshore oil discoveries uncovered billions of barrels of oil, the isolated nation of Guyana now faces the global spotlight as the hub of exploration.
- Renewable and fossil fuel energies are more likely to collaborate than compete as the world makes its energy transition, but even with new technologies, the shape of that future is still anchored in natural gas.
