Summary 

This layer contains shale plays located within Texas. This boundary file was specifically designed for small scale thematic mapping.

Description 

            

              

                

                  

                    The spatial data were obtained from the US Energy Information Agency and are current as of 2011. Sources for the basins are mostly from the US Geological Survey and state agencies. Attributes were modified to include only basin, shale, age, and reference. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.
