A bibliography containing citations on the technological, geographical, geological, geophysical, geochemical, and environmental aspects of natural gas recovery from tight sands is presented. Dissemination of technical information is a principal goal of the Western Gas Sands Project. A vast amount of information, relevant to western tight gas sands activities, of varying degrees of technical complexity, has been and continues to be published in the technical literature. Recently, as increasing gas prices draw increased private sector attention to previously sub-economic resources, and as results from the Government-sponsored R and D of the last several years become available, the quantity of literature related to the geology of tight gas formations and to diagnostic and production stimulation technology, has sharply accelerated. Efficient expenditure of future R and D funds requires researchers to be familiar with related previous work. Therefore, a data base has been prepared which contains records for journal articles, reports and other documents relevant to western tight gas sands activities. (DMC)
