How deep is the natural gas typically located in the ground?
Now we’re getting in deep — and you can’t get there with a shovel. Gas wells typically range from 1,100 to 12,000 feet below the surface. But a few in the industry have been drilled as deep as 20,000 feet. Our wells in the Rockies go pretty deep, too. Piceance Basin Approximately 5,600 to 12,000 ft. deep. Powder River Basin Approximately 1,100 to 2,200 ft. deep. San Juan Basin Approximately 3,300 to 7,000 ft. deep.
