Barnett Shale

The Barnett Shale is a natural gas reserve that has been located under populous areas of Fort Worth. The reserve was unreachable, until the new technology of "horizontal drilling" emerged. The emergence of horizontal drilling technology has made way for oil and gas drillers to access valuable natural gas reserves under Fort Worth.

Mineral Rights = Royalty Checks

Those residents of Fort Worth that own mineral rights to their property may be entitled to receive royalty checks from the oil and gas companies that are drilling in the area. Many of the real estate properties bought and sold in Fort Worth, however, are sold without mineral rights.
