yes I understand.
I don’t have any broad info either on how to compare niobrara apple to apples with other natural gas formations .
in the niobrara the WPX article says
“Drilling operations commenced in August 2012 during which the company successfully recovered 535 feet of continuous core.”
If this translates to mean that they found natural gas 535 deep then you could compare that to natural gas deposits elsewhere.
It does not. They are talking about thickness of bearing formation, not depth.
