The Tuscaloosa Marine Shale runs across Louisiana, only problem with it is that it's deep.
A lot of it is at 15,000 ft.
From memory years ago on wells around Baton Rouge area, temps would be running 350+ at depth, needed special equipment to log (survey) wells.

Isn’t it billions of degrees centigrade at that depth?

"The Tuscaloosa Marine Shale runs across Louisiana, only problem with it is that it's deep. A lot of it is at 15,000 ft." Back in the "Tuscaloosa Trend" days, they drilled that area for non-shale gas. Those wells were, I think, drilled to a similar depth. I remember the blowout around New Roads (Parlange well??) that burned for quite a while before they could extinguish it.
