Do gas wells currently exist in Flower Mound?
Yes. A portion of Flower Mound lies within a gas deposit known as the Barnett Shale. The Barnett Shale is a large natural gas reserve that stretches underground across an approximate 17-county area. It contains an estimated 26 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and is located approximately 1.5 miles below the surface. In recent years, advances in drilling technology have made it possible for energy companies to extract large amounts of natural gas from the Barnett Shale.
