New Albany Shale, Devonian geological formation in Illinois Basin, US.
The New Albany Shale consists of brown, black, and green shale layers with dolomite and sandstone beds throughout the Illinois Basin geological structure.
The formation dates to the Upper Devonian period and has generated approximately 4 billion barrels of oil production since its discovery.
The formation influences regional energy policies and shapes discussions about natural resource management in Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky.
Natural gas extraction occurs at depths between 250 and 2000 feet, with production centers located in Indiana and Western Kentucky regions.
The shale contains high concentrations of uranium, phosphorus, and heavy metals, making it distinguishable from other geological formations in North America.
