Fig. 1.
Natural gas production in the United States, by source (in trillion cubic feet per year). Shown are historic data from 1990 to 2011 and projections for 2012 to 2040. Shale gas is expected to provide the largest source of growth in United States natural gas supply. From ref. .

Fig. 2.
The gas production rate predicted by Patzek et al.’s (8) mathematical model (solid black line) exhibits two distinct regimes: an early-time regime with a formula image gas rate decline, and a late-time regime with an exponential decline. Also shown is the scaled recovery rate for five wells from the Barnett Shale (orange lines). Adapted from ref. .
