The Barnett Shale is one of the largest onshore natural gas fields in the U.S. Of equal or greater significance is that the Barnett Shale is where the extraction techniques of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing were first broadly commercially deployed, launching the 'energy renaissance' of the 21st century and the explosion of domestic onshore U.S. natural gas and crude oil production. 

The Barnett Shale underlies the city of Fort Worth and parts of 17 surrounding counties. This tour will include a natural gas processing plant, and potentially a drilling site (depending on rig timing), and a visit to a groundbreaking carbon sequestration facility not far from Fort Worth. This tour can accommodate up to 30 people. The tour includes transportation to and from The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel.
