I have been told that my house is in the Barnett shale area and that we will be getting compensated for the Gas drilling. How can I find out for sure?

Comment: This article needs some maps. A map showing the location of drillsites would be helpful, along with a generalized cross-section through the Ft. Worth Basin showing the position of the Barnett Shale ~~zyzzy2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zyzzy2 (talkcontribs) 01:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't allow them to drill under your house. It's gonna destroy your property value to have a giant rig behind your house and natural gas drilling will poison your water supply. - Simeon
