Influence of the drilling mud formulation process on the bacterial communities in thermogenic natural gas wells of the Barnett Shale
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-07)
The Barnett Shale in north central Texas contains natural gas generated by high temperatures (120 to 150°C) during the Mississippian Period (300 to 350 million years ago). In spite of the thermogenic origin of this gas, ...
