UNCONVENTIONAL POTENTIAL
◆ Shale age and facies analogous to the prolific Eagle
Ford Shale (Texas).
3 to 4 times thicker shale pay sections than the
Eagle Ford.
Gross shale volume estimate of 88 million acre
feet.
◆ The Magdalena Basin's unconventional resource is
estimated to be up to 40 Billion Barrels (Source:
ANH, 2012).
