Texas Districts - Natural Gas Production Charts (8/26/11)

The attached charts show the monthly natural gas production from 2000 thru 2010 for each of the Texas Districts.  The following are comments regarding some of the charts.

 

District 1 - This is the location of most of the Eagle Ford Shale production

 

District 4 - This shows how some of the traditional South Texas production areas are in decline

 

District 5 - The Deep Bossier fields drove the rapid growth but now have peaked in production

 

District 6 - New production from the Bossier/Haynesville Shale has offset decline in other fields

 

District 9 - Almost all of this production is from the Barnett Shale

 

District 10 - Location of some of the Granite Wash fields with the remainder in Oklahoma

Les, do you have any insight into what caused the precipitous decline in District 8A @ 2005?

Jffree, that was a change in TRRC reporting rules.  This district has a large number of CO2 floods (enhanced oil recovery projects) and prior to 2005 the produced volumes included the CO2.  Now the volume excludes the returned CO2.

Thanks, it makes sense that they wouldn't want to include injected volumes. I knew you would  probably know and I'm glad it wasn't some sort of catastrophic event.

Where does the CO2 come from for those EOR projects and how is it transported?

Jffree, there are CO2 fields (reservoirs) in the west and a network of CO2 pipelines between the sources and the EOR projects.  Over the years Kinder Morgan has acquired various assets from the production companies and built a CO2 business unit.

 

The majority of the CO2 produced with the oil and gas from the EOR projects is recovered and recycled but supplemented with essentially pure CO2 from the supply sources.  Produced gas from the EOR projects will be 80% to 90% CO2.
