We recently completed the changeover to a new, much improved audio management system, including a new program scheduling computer, file servers, workstations and more secure and reliable IT networking between our studios in Garden City and Amarillo. This work involved thousands of audio files and lines of programming code, so you may hear some glitches in our programming as we "burn-in" the system in the coming days. We apologize for any disruptions to your listening. If you have questions or problems to report, please contact HPPR's Technical Director, Alex Fregger (afregger@hppr.org).

Texas Leads the Country in Natural Gas Production

High Plains Public Radio | By Cindee Talley

State Impact Texas

State Impact Texas reported that Texas has about 23 percent of the country’s natural gas reserves.  Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” has allowed more production than any other state.

The map shows natural gas production from June 2012 to June 2013.  It reveals the most intense production occurs in the Eagle Ford Shale, Barnett Shale, and Permian Basin. 

The data is from the Railroad Commission of Texas’ data query feature.
