The Barnett Shale covers approximately a 5,000 square-mile area in North Texas just below Fort Worth and 17 other counties. It is one of the largest natural gas and oil reserves in the country.
Gas leaks and explosions are extremely powerful occurrences that can cause serious destruction in a matter of seconds.
The impact of drilling on residents cannot be overlooked in Texas, especially with the Barnett Shale located in Fort Worth Texas.
