The Ft. Worth/Barnett Shale, located in North Texas, remains a significant area for natural gas production despite its decreased prominence compared to its peak years. This region was among the earliest sites of hydraulic fracturing and large-scale shale gas production in the United States. While its production has declined, operators like TotalEnergies still maintain operations in the area. Today, Barnett Shale primarily supplies local utilities, power plants, and industrial operations, maintaining a focus on community and environmental considerations amidst ongoing industrial activities?. As of November 2023, the daily production reached 576,400 BOE per day. For the last 12 months, Barnett Shale produced 120 million cubic feet of natural gas and 806,000 barrels of oil.
