Certainly the long term viability of natural gas will be a function of price as well
as decline curves, and it certainly isn't a real resource at $ 2.31 / Mcf (today's price).

as the bomb

Using historical data from horizontal wells in the Barnett Shale formation in North Texas, Tad Patzek, professor and chair in the Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering in the Cockrell School of Engineering; Michael Marder, professor of physics in the College of Natural Sciences; and Frank Male, a graduate student in physics, used a simple physics theory to model the rate at which production from the wells
declines over time, known
as the «
decline curve.»
The strength of the pull exerted by a given object
declines in proportion to the square of the distance from it, Newton told us, while Einstein explained gravity
as the result of massive objects

One merely calculates the least - squares linear - regression trend over successively longer periods to see whether the slope of the trend progressively increases (
as it must if the
curve is genuinely exponential) or whether, instead, it progressively
declines towards linearity (
as it actually does).
As Bryce points out, shale natural gas wells deplete at a very fast rate: «The new shale gas wells... have steep
decline curves, meaning that output from some wells may fall by 80 to 90 percent during the first year of production.»
Between this email (22 Sep 1999) and the next draft sent out (Nov 1999, Fig. 2.25 Expert Review) two things happened: (a) the email referring to a «trick» to «hide the
decline» for the preparation of report by the World Meteorological Organization was sent (Jones 0942777075.txt, «trick» is apparently referring to a splicing technique used by the L.A. [Dr Mann] in which non-paleo data were merged to massage away a cooling dip at the last decades of the original Hockey Stick) and (b) the cooling portion of Briffa's
curve had been truncated for the IPCC report (it is unclear
as to who performed the truncation...)
But again, profitability of these gas plays will depend not just on
decline curve analysis but on natural gas prices
as well.
Monckton — quoted by Bickmore «One merely calculates the least - squares linear - regression trend over successively longer periods to see whether the slope of the trend progressively increases (
