Table C.41 Summary of shale and tight gas plays with the potential to supply gas to market in a 5 to 10 year timeframe. Compiled from Goldie Divko (2015) and GA (2017). Note too little is understood about the shale gas potential for development of any shale gas play in the basin within a 10 year timeframe, so this play is not included here.
