Natural gas produced from a tight formation, one that will not give up its gas readily or in large volumes. The production of tight gas is more costly and therefore less attractive to producers owing to the need for fracturing. acidizing. and other expensive treatments to free the gas from the relatively impermeable formations. In view of these constraints, such g as has been given an incentive price of 150 percent of the price of gas from new. conventional onshore gas wells by the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978.
