Oil and natural gas are found in a variety of geologic formations distributed across the country, such as shale and tight sandstone.3 Shale plays-sets of discovered or undiscovered oil and natural gas accumulations or prospects that exhibit similar geological characteristics-are located within basins, which are large-scale geological depressions, often hundreds of miles across, that also may contain other oil and gas resources.
