Hugoton Gas Field May be Viable to 2050
The massive Hugoton natural gas field that straddles the southwestern edge of Kansas and northern Oklahoma has been in decline for the past 10 years, but a study by the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) at the University of Kansas indicates that the gas still in place could be extended through 2050, provided the integrity of 40- to 70-year-old wells is maintained.
